Description

Polarization measurements, in addition to their interest for deciphering the internal physics of radio sources, are relevant to cosmology because estimates of nsub(e), the thermal electron density, may be obtained from measurements of the Faraday effect. This paper discusses recent polarization measurements. (Auth.)
