Abstract

The catalog contains 510 extragalactic radio sources, and covers all polarization measurements from 1965 to the middle of 1974 and a few other radio and optical data for these sources. The typical observation error was in the range of 1-2 percent in 1965 and 0.5-1 percent in 1974. The selection criterion for sources was that polarization data should be available at least at three wavelengths for each source. This reduced the sample to 510 sources. The catalog includes observational data: classifications, Cambridge numbers, coordinates, degrees of polarization at various wavelengths, polarization angles at each wavelength, largest angular diameters, position angles, and redshifts. The catalog also includes derived data: rotation measures, linear source diameters, polarization angles at wavelength 0 cm, differences between position angle and polarization angle at 0 cm, spectral indices between each pair of successive wavelengths observed, and polarization indices between each pair of successive wavelengths observed.
