Linearly polarized SiO emission spread over 12 km/s has been detected from the star R Leo. The position angle of polarized emission varies systematically with respect to the spectral line center. Interpreted in terms of radiative transfer theory, this change in position angle may be due to magnetorotation, which allows the determination of the magnetic field (9×10−3/cos θ Gauss), and the SiO systemic velocity (−1 ± 2 km/s).
