Abstract
Observations of the linear polarization of quasi-stellar radio sources over a wide range of wavelengths have been combined to investigate the depolarization at long wavelengths. It is suggested that the main cause is Faraday dispersion occurring in or near the source itself. A strong correlation is found between the rate of depolarization and the redshift for 62 quasars.Keywords
