Scientific paper

The authors have conducted a photographic search for faint highly polarized objects, to 20th magnitude. The observations show no evidence of a large population of radio-quiet BL Lacertae objects, counterparts of radio-quiet quasars. The observations could be used to argue that BL Lac objects belong to a slowly evolving class of extragalactic objects, but it is pointed out that they are also compatible with the relativistic beam model.
