Object S5 0716+71: Flux - linear polarization coupling

Abstract

The linear polarization observations of S5 0716+71 carried out by the author in 2019-2021 were continued from December 8, 2021 to March 12, 2022. These observations confirm the author's argument made in 2022 about a periodic dependence of the degree of linear polarization of S5 0716+71 on its optical flux. The harmonic period varies from 3 to 8 mJy in the 3 to 55 mJy interval.
