Finding Regions of Correlated Polarization Directions of the 1450 Qso Radio Sources in the Jvas1450 Catalog

Authors: Richard Shurtleff

This article presents a way to survey catalogued data, here the JVAS1450 catalog of polarized radio QSOs that has been measured, collected, catalogued, and made available by others. The polarization directions are spread out haphazard over the Northern Equatorial hemisphere. We find five degree radius regions whose sources' polarization directions converge significantly at points on the Celestial Sphere or diverge significantly. Samples are collected for further study. The appendix consists of a computer software program that performs the needed calculations. The computer program can be adapted to other choices of region radii and to other sets of transverse vectors.
