Notes. The brighter 13 LMC stars from Vink (2007) are at the bottom. Names, spectral types, and V magnitudes (Cols. 1–4) are from Massey & Duffy (2001) and Massey et al. (2003) for the SMC, and from Breysacher et al. (1999, BAT99) for the LMC. The continuum polarization percentage and errors (over 4200–4600 Å) are in Col. 5. Systematic errors in the polarization are estimated to be of order 0.1%. PAs (θ) are listed in Col. 6. The literature values of the B-band PA and continuum polarization are from the catalogue of Mathewson & Ford (1970) (Cols. 7 and 8). Binary information is given in Col. 10, for the SMC from Shenar et al. (2016), and for the LMC from Bartzakos et al. (2001) for WCs and Foellmi et al. (2003) for WNs.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
