Confirmation of the Magnetic White Dwarf G-195-19
Abstract
Circularly polarized light from the white dwarf G- 195-19, discovered by Angel and Landstreet, has been verified. We have measured a time average (q = - (3.0 1 0.7) x 1(h , over the passhand XX4()o() 6S00, the same in handedness and approxirnate rnagnitude as they report. We find the linear polarization to be srnall, of the order 1 percent at most.
