Scientific paper
Measurements of the integrated linear polarization (over the angular size of a radio galaxy or quasar) have been made for several extragalactic radio sources, using the Very Large Array at wavelengths of 6 cm, 18 cm and 20 cm. All of them are seen through a restricted celestial angular zone encompassing the Orion-Eridanus region of our own Galaxy. These results complement and extend a series of integrated linear polarization measurements for extragalactic radio galaxies and quasars with a relatively small total-intensity flux density, distributed in specific celestial zones extending over many degrees.
