THE OPTICAL POLARIZATION OF QUASI-STELLAR AND BL LACERTAE OBJECTS

In this dissertation, I examine the optical linear polarization of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and BL Lacertae objects. I present extensive polarimetric observations of a large sample of QSOs, systematically analyze the correlations between polarization and other properties of QSOs, compare t
