We investigate the linear polarization produced by interstellar dust aligned by the magnetic field in the solar neighborhood (d3sigma) polarization is found in 115 stars, and >2sigma detection in 178 stars, out of the total sample of 361 stars. Polarization maps based on these data show filament-like patterns of polarization position angles which are related to both the heliosphere geometry, the kinematics of nearby clouds, and the Interstellar Boundary EXplorer (IBEX) ribbon magnetic field. From long-term multiple observations, a number (18) of stars show evidence of intrinsic variability at the 10E-5 level. This can be attributed to circumstellar effects (e.g., debris disks and chromospheric activity). The star HD 101805 shows a peculiar wavelength dependence, indicating size distribution of scattering particles different from that of a typical interstellar medium. Our high-S/N measurements of nearby stars with very low polarization also provide a useful dataset for calibration purposes.
