Deneb Is a Large-amplitude Polarimetric Variable

We write to report the discovery that Deneb is a large-amplitude polarization variable. Over a ∼400 days time span from 2022 August Deneb’s polarization was typically around 3900 parts per million (ppm) in the SDSS ${g}^{{\prime} }$ band. Yet, it varied by several hundred parts per million in an irr...
