Comparison of our intrinsic NIR polarimetry (Table 1) of the binary PDS 144 (horizontal lines) with selected models (symbols) of YSOs from Fischer et al. (1996), as a function of the inclination. All models shown here correspond to polarizations perpendicular to the plane disk (negative sign in Figs. 9 and 10 from Fischer et al. 1996). The models include different massive accretion disks (LA, RB and SL types) and a massless Keplerian disk (SH type); two families of grains (small grains: sg, and large grains: lg); and three values for the midplane density (1, 3, 10  ×  10^-18 g cm^-3). The shadow region indicates the high inclinations associated with the PDS 144 system.
