Optical Polarimetric Catalog for the SMC

An optical polarimetric catalog for the Small Magelanic Cloud (SMC) is presented. It gives intrinsic and observed polarizations in the V-band for a total of 7207 stars located in the Northeast and Wing sections of the SMC and part of the Magellanic Bridge.

[?num. expr.]
Intrinsic polarisation in per cent of total flux, obtained by substracting the foreground polarization due to Milky Way dust from the observed polarization pol_obs. See paper, chapter 3, for details on foreground determination.
[?num. expr.]
Observed polarization in percent of total flux, obtained by determining the Q and U stokes parameters from V photometry in four different angles.
[?num. expr.]
V band magnitude obtained by summing up the flux of the image pair in one frame and calibrating against several published catalogs (see Table 3 in the paper).
