This paper is devoted to the data obtained in measurements of the linear light polarization of few stars (that are definitely known to possess planets) and the results of the measurements processing. One may surmise with caution that the suggested method yields positive results and, if confirmed, can be of use both in searching for exoplanets in transiting or tangentially transiting orbits and in refining their masses.
