Scientific paper
An attempt has been made to collect into one catalog all high accuracy circular polarization measurements of the nonthermal synchrotron radiation from nonstellar, extra-solar system radio sources published by early 1982. 'High accuracy' has been defined for this purpose as a quoted standard error of better than 0.1 percent. For those sources having measurements in the catalog at at least three different frequencies, the spectrum of the circular polarization is plotted. For those having measurements at at least 4 different times at any one frequency, the time dependence is plotted. Whenever total intensity and linear polarization measurements were published concurrently with the circular polarization results, these are included in the catalog. Extensive information is given on the properties of each source such as position, radio spectrum, radio structure, optical identification, optical magnitude, redshift, and estimate of radio variability.
