Abstract

We present the polarization results of sensitive low frequency WSRT observations of the cluster of galaxies Abell 2255. The RM cube at 350 MHz suggests that a conspicuous contribution to the polarized signal detected in the field of the cluster is due to our Galaxy. However, there are several cluster related features showing high polarization levels. Finally, we discuss a few issues related to the polarization calibration at low frequencies, that we faced during the reduction of the 150 MHz observations.
