Notes. The table includes: absolute maximum polarization fraction at 15 resolution; linear fit parameters m and c to the decrease of pmax with , with fitting range indicated; and linear fit parameters of the vs. log (p) correlation. See text for the derivation of the listed uncertainties. The figures given here are for a signal-to-noise threshold p/σp> 3.
