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. =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.
