We bring results of some our investigations of magnetic field of our Galaxy and extragalactic radio sources. For the study were used data of Faraday rotation of pulsars and extragalactic radio sources as well as data of physical and morphological properties of more than 500 radio galaxies of different morphological classes.

We have measured the linear polarization of a new large sample of extragalactic radio sources, and by combining these with polarization values already in the literature, we have been able to compute a large number of rotation measures, with improved quality. We have also investigated the depolarization properties of these sources and as a result have been able to identify most sources with a large internally generated Faraday rotation. Figure 1 shows the rotation measures of 475 extragalactic radio sources on an equal-area projection, after “cleaning out” the extragalactic effects to first order.

The distribution of Faraday rotation measure (RM) of extragalactic radio sources shows that a large-scale magnetic field in the Galaxy is oriented along the spiral arms. The field lines change direction from one arm to the next in the inter-arm region.

In the last decade correlations of the depolarization parameter λd with several parameters, i.e., the radio luminosity L, redshift z, and source size D have been investigated by several authors, where λd is the wavelength at which the percentage polarization drops to its half maximum. Kronberg ET AL. (1972) first pointed out that λd decreases with increasing z, while Morris and Tabara (1973) showed that λd increases with L and suggested that the depolarization is due to the internal Faraday rotation within radio sources. Conway ET AL.(1974), on the other hand, suggested that the λd-(1+z) relation is primary. Recently, Cohen (1979) showed that the λd-z relation may be the remnant of the physically meaningful relation λd-L, though the former is statistically real.
