Description
There is empirical evidence that the percentage of integrated linear polarization at the emitted wavelength of 6 em (PEO6) is a sensitive parameter to investigate the depolarization in extragalactic radio sources. PEO6 increases with increasing source linear size, but decreases with increasing redshift, radio luminosity, and brightness temperature in the emission frame.
