A computer polarimetric asteroid data base has been compiled. It contains all available results of polarimetry of asteroids, including unpublished data obtained at the Sanglok Observatory (Tajikistan) and the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (Ukraine). The data base includes results of polarimetric measurements of 145 asteroids observed for about 400 nights in one, several, or in all five UBVRI bands. The data include: epoch of observations, Stokes parameters of linear polarization (measured and reduced to the scattering plane) with their errors, asteroid phase angle, position angle of the scattering plane, and reference to the observation source. In addition, the data base includes available asteroid polarimetric phase curve parameters and polarimetric albedos for 127 asteroids. The data-base program environment makes it possible to display, search, sort, select data, and perform the reduction of measured Stokes parameters to the coordinate system associated with the scattering plane.
