Abstract:
We compiled a catalog of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) for 4553
extragalactic radio point sources published in literature. These RMs
were derived from multi-frequency polarization observations. The RM
data are compared to those in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) RM
catalog. We reveal a systematic uncertainty of about
10.0+/-1.5rad/m^2^ in the NVSS RM catalog. The Galactic foreground RM
is calculated through a weighted averaging method by using the
compiled RM catalog together with the NVSS RM catalog, with careful
consideration of uncertainties in the RM data. The data from the
catalog and the interface for the Galactic foreground RM calculations
are publicly available on the webpage: http://zmtt.bao.ac.cn/RM/ .
