Polarized Radio Sources: A Study of Luminosity, Redshift and Infrared
  Colors
  The Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory Deep Field polarization study
has been matched with the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic survey of
the European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory Survey North 1 field. We
have used VLA observations with a total intensity rms of 87 microJy beam^-1 to
match SWIRE counterparts to the radio sources. Infrared color analysis of our
radio sample shows that the majority of polarized sources are elliptical
galaxies with an embedded active galactic nucleus. Using available redshift
catalogs, we found 429 radio sources of which 69 are polarized with redshifts
in the range of 0.04 < z <3.2. We find no correlation between redshift and
percentage polarization for our sample. However, for polarized radio sources,
we find a weak correlation between increasing percentage polarization and
decreasing luminosity.
