Abstract
We present a catalog of interstellar polarization measurements for
the North Galactic Pole area (
). Our list contains 336 stars of
spectral 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.
Key words: polarization / dust, extinction / solar neighbourhood
