Abstract

Linear-polarization maps based on the 2.695-GHz Effelsberg Galactic-plane survey of Reich et al. (1984) are presented and briefly characterized. The total-intensity contour maps are convolved to a resolution of 6 arcmin, and the polarized intensities in the E-field direction are superimposed as bars. The instrumental polarization is 0.7 percent, so that all sources 3.5 K or more above their surroundings are shown with polarization greater than or equal to the rms noise of 24 mK Tp(B).
