Linear polarization measurements for 5070 stars

The authors have collected and collated measurements of linear polarization of starlight from Hiltner, Smith, Hall, Behr, Appenzeller, Mathewson and Ford, Klare et al., and Schroeder. These are presented in a catalog for stars with reliable distances that lists the Stokes parameters Q and U. The galactic latitude and longitude and distance are also given. See the documentation by Nancy G. Roman, either in plain ascii (file adc.doc), or in LaTeX (doc.tex)
