CDS 14 115 1978 1978BICDS..14..115M II/178 : "A Catalogue of Linear Polarization Measurements" by Axon and Ellis (1976MNRAS.177..499A) Polarization The catalogue is an extension of the catalogue compiled by Mathewson and Ford (1970MmRAS..74..139M) and the list by Klare and Neckel (1977A&AS...27..215K).

Name Identification of the star number=1 names starting by + or - are DM (BD, CD, CPD) designations; names starting by a digit are HD numbers. --- GLON Galactic longitude deg GLAT Galactic latitude deg pol Degree of polarization % galPA Position angle of the E vector in galactic coordinates deg n_galPA Correction performed number=5 2 stars were corrected in December 1997, marked by an asterisk in this position (see Historical Notes) --- eqPA Position angle of the E vector in equatorial coordinates deg RAh Right Ascension 1950 (hours) number=2 this field was computed from GLON and GLAT for stars from Reference 6 (see Historical Notes) h RAm Right Ascension 1950 (minutes) number=2 this field was computed from GLON and GLAT for stars from Reference 6 (see Historical Notes) min DE- Declination 1950 (sign) number=2 this field was computed from GLON and GLAT for stars from Reference 6 (see Historical Notes) --- DEd Declination 1950 (degrees) number=2 this field was computed from GLON and GLAT for stars from Reference 6 (see Historical Notes) deg DEm Declination 1950 (minutes) number=2 this field was computed from GLON and GLAT for stars from Reference 6 (see Historical Notes) arcmin Vmag Visual magnitude mag SpType Spectral type number=3 "II-" stands for "II-III", and "-IV" stands for "III-IV" --- Av Visual absorption mag n_Av '*' when no photometry was available --- m-M Distance modulus (= 5.log(r/10)) mag Ref Reference of the data number=4 References are 0: unidentified 1: Appenzeller I., Zeitschr.
