II/178 Linear polarization measurements for 5070 stars (Axon+ 1976)
================================================================================
A Catalogue of Linear Polarization Measurements for 5070 stars
Axon D.J., Ellis R.S.
<Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 177, 499 (1976)>
=1976MNRAS.177..499A
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Polarization
Description:
The authors have collected and collated measurements of linear
polarization of starlight from Hiltner, Smith, Hall, Behr,
Appenzeller, Mathewson and Ford, Klare et al., and Schroeder. These
are presented in a catalog for stars with reliable distances that
lists the Stokes parameters Q and U. The galactic latitude and
longitude and distance are also given.
See the documentation by Nancy G. Roman, either in plain ascii
(file adc.doc), or in LaTeX (doc.tex)
