摘要：The optical light from LMXBs may be intrinsically polarised if it arises from synchrotron emission
or if it is scattered within the system. We report on the polarisation properties of the black
hole candidate A0620-00 in quiescence. The optical polarisation is weakly variable on the orbital
period. Spectro-polarimetry suggests the polarisation might arise from scattering onto material
sitting outside of the system.
