High-frequency polarization properties of southern Kuhr sources

We have carried out observations at 18.5 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) of 250 out of the 258 Southern extragalactic sources in the complete 5 GHz 1 Jy sample by Kühr et al. (1981). In this paper we focus on the polarization properties of this sample, while other properties will be addressed in a future paper. In our analysis we subdivide the sample into flat and steep spectrum sources following Stickel et al. (1994) classification, where spectral indices were measured bet...
