Abstract
- The results of the first linear polarization measurements of extrasolar radio sources at a frequency above 35 GHz are presented. For the quasars 3C 273 and 3C 345, the observed position angles are in accord with the predictions of Inoue, and the measurements are consistent with the suggestion that the compact components responsible for the high-frequency emission are affected by high degrees of internal Faraday depolarization. For the radio galaxy 3C 274 (Virgo A) the observed position angle and degree of polarization are consistent with the model of Hobbs and Waak.
