Linear polarization and composition of VLBI jets
It is shown that linear polarization data can be used to constrain the composition (normal or pair plasma) of pc-scale extragalactic jets. A simple criterion, based on synchrotron and Faraday depolarization properties, is established. It does not depend on the particle density and the length of the emitting region along the line of sight, thus eliminating two physical unknowns.
متن کاملProbing the Circular Polarization of Relativistic Jets on VLBI Scales
High resolution studies of circular polarization allow us see where it arises in a jet, study its local fractional level and spectrum, and compare these results to local measures of linear polarization and Faraday rotation. Here we not only review past results from Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) circular polarization studies, but we also present preliminary new results on two quasars. In the c...
متن کاملMillimeter VLBI and Variability in AGN Jets
Millimeter-VLBI images probe as deep as never before the nuclei of AGN. VLBI at 147GHz yields transatlantic fringes for the first time. Now we can begin to study the relation between jet kinematics and spectral activity with a few ten micro-arcsecond resolution. 1. Present Status of 3mm-VLBI The main advantage of VLBI observations at short millimeter wavelengths (mmVLBI) is the very high angula...

15 صفحه اولVLBI Polarization Observations of Intraday Variability
Global 6 cm VLBI polarization observations of the intraday variable sources 0716+714, 0917+624, and 0954+658 are analyzed. Integrated VLA measurements during the VLBI observations suggest that although there were no substantial total intensity variations, the polarization for all three sources varied signiicantly during the 24-hour VLBI experiment. The VLBI data were divided into 2{3 hour segme...
