The Linear Polarization of Radio Sources Between 11 and 20 cm Wavelength. I. Observations

Abstract

Observations are presented of the linear polarization of 366 sources observed with the Parkes 210 ft telescope at frequencies of 2650, 1660, and 1410 MHz. Parameters derived from the results, namely rotation measure, intrinsic polarization angle, and depolarization, are tabulated together with other pertinent physical properties. The source list includes 64 quasars, 119 radio or normal spiral galaxies, and 31 galactic objects; the remainder are unidentified objects or doubtful identifications.
