Description
Summary:The catalogue of the results of polarization observations of 1800 stars with the 24-inch rotatable telescope at Siding Spring Observatory is presented. The results of this southern survey are combined with the results of northern observers to produce a plot of the E-vectors of the polarization over the entire sky. This master plot shows the results of polarization measurements of nearly 7000 stars. E-vector plots are also presented for stars lying within the distance intervals 0–50, 50–100, 100–200, 200–400, 400–600, 600–1000, 1000–2000 and 2000–4000 pc.
