Abstract:
    The results of the eleven-years (1987-98) photopolarimetric patrol
    observations of Herbig Ae star SV Cep are presented. Only one deep
    brightness minimum of star were observed during this time interval.
    The decrease of the SV Cep brightness during this minimum was
    accompanied by increase of its linear polarization. The similar
    behaviour of linear polarization with the brightness changes was found
    earlier in other young stars with the non-periodic Algol-type minima.
    The most probable interpretation of this phenomenon is based on the
    model in which the source of intrinsic linear polarization is the
    scattered radiation of circumstellar disk-like dust envelope (probably
    the proto-planetary disk). The deposition of this source increases
    during the brightness minima when the direct (non-polarized) stellar
    radiation are absorbed in the CS dust clouds intersected the
    line-of-sight.
