The Polarization of Extended Radio Sources at 6 cm Wavelength. II. Galactic Sources

Abstract

Maps are presented of the polarization and total intensity distributions over the supernova remnants 13S6A, MSH 15-56, ROW 103, and W44. They were obtained at 6 cm wavelength with a 4' arc resolution. It has not proved possible to interpret the polarization characteristics in terms of a simple expansion against the interstellar magneto ionic medium.
