                                    Polarization maps of the Vela C molecular cloud were obtained at 250,
350, and 500 μm during the 2012 flight of the balloon-borne telescope
BLASTPol. These measurements are used in conjunction with 850 μm data
from Planck to study the submillimeter spectrum of the polarization
fraction for this cloud. The spectrum is relatively flat and does not
exhibit a pronounced minimum at λ ∼ 350 μm as suggested by
previous measurements of other molecular clouds. The shape of the
spectrum does not depend strongly on the radiative environment of the
dust, as quantified by the column density or the dust temperature
obtained from Herschel data. The polarization ratios observed in Vela C
are consistent with a model of a porous clumpy molecular cloud being
uniformly heated by the interstellar radiation field.
