Interstellar Polarization Survey. III. Relation between Optical Polarization and Reddening in the General Interstellar Medium

Optical starlight can be partially polarized while propagating through the dusty, magnetized interstellar medium (ISM). The polarization efficiency describes the polarization intensity fraction per reddening unit, P _V / E ( B − V ), related to the interstellar dust grains and magnetic field propert...
