The Rotation Measure and 3.5 Millimeter Polarization of Sagittarius A*

We report the detection of variable linear polarization from Sgr A* at a wavelength of 3.5 mm, the longest wavelength yet at which a detection has been made. The mean polarization is 2.1% 0.1% at a position angle of 162 with rms scatters of 0.4% and 9 over the five epochs. We also detect polarizatio...
