Polarization spectrum of the quasar E1821+643: (a) the position angle of polarization, (b) the polarized flux spectrum, (c) the degree of polarization, and (d) the total flux spectrum. The polarized flux density has the same units as the total flux density. The polarization data have been re-sampled into bins with an error of 0.05% in degree of polarization.
