Abstract

The fits files contain the observed and interpolated data of a survey of linear polarization (Stokes U and Q) at 1.4GHz, obtained with the 25.6-m telescope of the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Canada. The angular resolution is 36 arcmin. The data are corrected for ground radiation and tied to absolute determinations of zero levels. Survey observations were carried out by drift scanning the sky between -29{deg} and +90{deg} declination. The fully Nyquist- sampled drift scans were observed in steps of 0.25{deg} to about 2.5{deg} in declination. The rms noise is 12mK in Stokes U and Q.
