Аннотация: The results of the analysis of the 15-year series of measurements of polarimetric standards obtained with the 2.6-m telescope named after G. A. Shain of the Scientific Research Institute «Crimean Astrophysical Observatory» of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine are presented. We used the aperture polarimeter with fast full modulation. Among 98 small and large linear polarization standards, 11 are not recommended for use as standards. |
