The polarization of the stars in open clusters, explained on the basis of the Davis-Greenstein theory, gives some information on the microstructure of the galactic magnetic field.
The polarization is most conveniently described by the parameters Q, U, proportional to the Stokes parameters and defined by
where p is the amount of polarization, θ is the position angle of the electric vector, and θ̄ is the mean value of θ for the region under consideration.
