OBSERVATIONS OF THE OWENS VALLEY RADIO OBSERVATORY. 6. A CATALOG OF LINEAR POLARIZATION CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO SOURCES IN THE WAVELENGTH RANGE 10 TO 21 CM

Abstract

A list of linear polarization measurements for 66 radio sources is presented. It includes values for 39 sources not previously reported on, plus a more complete set of values for sources previously described. Of these sources, approximately 40 have been examined at three different warelengths (10, 18 and 21 cm) and for those with appreciable polarization in this range the dependence of polarization on wavelength is given. The relationship between the major axis position angle and the intrinsic polarization angle of double radio sources is discussed.
