| Abstract: | The polarization distribution of the inner coma of comet Hale-Bopp was measured by CCD imaging around perihelion. The dust
shell positions correlate well with relative maxima of polarization. The images taken in the I-band identify different shell
systems, each showing individual polarization properties. This could be related to differences in the dust properties of the
associated jets.
