CATALOG OF SN-1987A POLARIMETRY CORRECTED FOR INTERSTELLAR POLARIZATION

A catalog of SN 1987A polarimetry is given that covers the period from day 2 to day 262. The catalog includes broad-band and narrow-band polarimetry and spectropolarimetry. The polarimetry has been corrected for the interstellar polarization along the line of sight to SN 1987A. Since the interstellar polarization is of the same order as the SN 1987A polarization, a correction for the interstellar polarization is essential for observing the intrinsic behavior of the SN 1987A polarization. It is hoped that the catalog will aid and encourage further analyses of the SN 1987A polarimetric data.
