A. Berdyugin et al., Interstellar polarization at high galactic latitudes from distant stars - IV. A catalog of polarization data for the North Galactic Pole Area, ASTRON ASTR, 372(1), 2001, pp. 276-280
We present a catalog of interstellar polarization measurements for the Nort
h Galactic Pole area (b > 70 degrees). Our list contains 336 stars of spect
ral classes from A to K for which the linear polarization has been measured
by us and other researchers. The data are useful for investigation of the
distribution of dust, to estimate the amount of interstellar extinction and
to map Galactic magnetic field at high galactic latitudes. We discuss also
the data selection, sampling and completeness of the catalog.
