Abstract
We present simultaneous UBV linear polarization measurements for 361
A- and F-type stars with accurate colour excess and distance determination.
These stars are distributed in 35 Kapteyn's Selected Areas, covering the
third and fourth quadrants of the galactic plane (
).
The obtained polarization and the known colour excess are compared. An
analysis of the polarization distribution as a function of the stellar
distance is also performed.
Key words: polarization / interstellar medium: dust, extinction / stars: general / catalogs
Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), La Silla, Chile.
