cds-question@unistra.frquasarspolarimetryradio-sourcesgalaxy-classification-systemsFor Seyfert galaxies, the AGN unification model provides a simple and well-established explanation of the type 1/type 2 dichotomy through orientation-based effects. The generalization of this unification model to the higher luminosity AGNs that quasars are remains a key question. The recent detection of type 2 radio-quiet quasars seems to support such an extension. We propose a further test of this scenario. On the basis of a compilation of quasar host-galaxy position angles consisting of previously published data and of new measurements performed using HST Archive images, we investigate the possible existence of a correlation between the linear polarization position angle and the host-galaxy/extended emission position angle of quasars.2008A&A...478..321Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/478/321CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJS/122/81 : HST snapshot survey of 3CR radio sources (Martel+, 1999)J/A+AS/142/451 : Optical Polarization of 47 QSOs (Lamy+, 2000)J/ApJ/569/23 : Optical polarisation of 2MASS QSOs (Smith+, 2002)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/478/321https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/478/321http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/478/321https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/478/321https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/478/321http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/478/321GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/478/321/table6 (Morphology/polarimetric/radio measurements for 135 quasars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/478/321/table6?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/478/321/table6?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/478/321/table6?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true2.62916710.9744440.0055555555555555566/12 245 269 530 601 647 1521 1701 2052 2111 2134 2178 2201 2216 2227 2414 2951 4495 4506 4649 5244 5262 5439 5597 5687 5731 5806 5819 6536 7061 7508 7522 7873 8017 8420 8528 8597 8635-8636 8641 8845 8881 8941 9194 9223 9348 9769 9959 10039 10162 10217 10472 10578 10691 10709 11203 11667-11668 11829 12047 12317 12380 12604 12631 12684 13496 13707 15045 15067 15351 17819 17836 17839 17866 18007 18127 18670 18769 18773 18895 19285 19315 19413 19416 19433 19567 19673 19716 19730 19740 19746 19932 19999 20051 20184 21935 22452 22976 23269 24116 25742 25851 25916 25965 26100 26292 26297 26509 26736 26769 26902 27105 27227 27486 27580 27720 27848 27862 28031 28060 28113 28138 28164 28356 28471 28527 31685 32408 32499 32685 44988 48614 48965https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/478/321?format=asciiOpticalRadiodefaultJ/A+A/478/321/table6Morphology/polarimetric/radio measurements for 135 quasarsPApolOptical polarization position angledegpos.posAnginte_PApolUncertainty on polarization position angledegstat.errorintrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
