Circular polarization of the X-ray sources Scorpius X-1, Cygnus X-1, and 3C 273

Systematic B- and V-color observations during 1972--1974 of the circular polarization of Sco X-1 (12 nights), Cyg X-1 (28 nights), and 3C 273 (31 nights) showed the occasional appearance of appreciable and variable polarization. Sixteen control observations of the white dwarf Grw+70degree8247 led to...

Zusammenfassung:	Systematic B- and V-color observations during 1972--1974 of the circular polarization of Sco X-1 (12 nights), Cyg X-1 (28 nights), and 3C 273 (31 nights) showed the occasional appearance of appreciable and variable polarization. Sixteen control observations of the white dwarf Grw+70degree8247 led to values which are in agreement with those previously obtained.
