Circular polarization observations of the interstellar magnetic field.
Abstract
Recent observations of interstellar circular polarization are applied to a study of the galactic magnetic field. The results are compared with what has already been learned from linear polarization observations. Subject headings: interstellar: magnetic fields - polarization
