We present uniformly reprocessed and re-calibrated data from the RoboPol programme of optopolarimetric monitoring of active galactic nuclei (AGN), covering observations between 2013, when the instrument was commissioned, and 2017. In total, the dataset presented in this paper includes 5068 observations of 222 AGN with Dec > -25 deg. We describe the current version of the RoboPol pipeline that was used to process and calibrate the entire dataset, and we make the data publicly available for use by the astronomical community. Average quantities summarising optopolarimetric behaviour (average degree of polarization, polarization variability index) are also provided for each source we have observed and for the time interval we have followed it.

RoboPol：AGN 极化监测数据

我们提供了来自 RoboPol 活动星系核 (AGN) 光偏振监测计划的统一再处理和重新校准的数据，涵盖了 2013 年仪器投入使用和 2017 年之间的观测。本文中提供的数据集总共包括 5068 个观测222 AGN，Dec > -25 度。我们描述了用于处理和校准整个数据集的 RoboPol 管道的当前版本，并且我们将数据公开以供天文学界使用。还为我们观察到的每个源以及我们跟踪它的时间间隔提供了总结光偏振行为的平均值（平均偏振度、偏振可变性指数）。
