The majority of stars in the sample show measurable polarization, but most polarizations are small with 75 per cent of the stars having P<2x10^-5^.2010MNRAS.405.2570Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/405/2570CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/226 : Stellar polarization catalogs agglomeration (Heiles, 2000)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/405/2570https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/405/2570http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/405/2570https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/405/2570https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/405/2570http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/405/2570GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/405/2570/pol (Planetpol linear polarization measurements)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/405/2570/pol?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/405/2570/pol?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/405/2570/pol?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true152.092961411.96720690.0055555555555555566/5154 5535 5587 5718 6082 6126 8534 8687 8690 8767 8845 9127 9219 9310 9327 9717 9847 10101 10568 10731 10783 11109 11202 12082 12953 14373 14777 14906 15995 26320 26552 26975 27574 27884 28208 28252 28352 30543 30655 31475 31491 31576 31776 31784 31929 32496 32575 32645 32725https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/405/2570?format=asciiOpticaldefault
