Abstract
A survey of the linearly polarized component of the galactic radio emission has been made at a frequency of 1407 Mc/s for declinations above −1°. The beamwidth of the aerial used was 2° between half-power points. The results are presented as maps in both equatorial and galactic co-ordinates. The principal features are (i) a smooth variation with direction as compared with the surveys at lower frequencies and (ii) strong polarization from the region of the North galactic Spur. The maximum polarization temperatures found are about 0.5–0.7 °K.Keywords
