Radio Linear and Circular Polarization from M81*
We present results from archival Very Large Array (VLA) data and new VLA observations to investigate the long term behavior of the circular polarization of M81*, the nuclear radio source in the nearby galaxy M81. We also used the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) array to observe M81* at 86 and 230 GHz. M81* is unpolarized in the linear sense at a frequency as high as 86 GHz and sho...
متن کاملLinear and circular polarization in GRB afterglows
A certain degree of linear polarization has been measured in several GRB afterglows. More surprisingly, circular polarization has been recently measured in GRB121024A. For synchrotron emission, the polarization level depends on: (i) the local magnetic field orientation (ii) the geometry of the emitting region with respect to the line of sight and (iii) the electron pitch-angle distribution. For...
متن کاملPolarization Jet: characteristics and a model
Recent analysis of the ground-based observations of the Polarization Jet (PJ) effects in the subauroral ionosphere has shown that PJ can rapidly develop in the nearmidnight sector near the Harang Discontinuity (HD). Based on these observations, a simple, semi-quantitative theory of the PJ formation and its main characteristics is constructed. According to the model, PJ starts to develop, as pro...
متن کاملCircular Polarization and Magnetic Fields in Jet Models
The detection of circular polarization in compact synchrotron sources provides new insights into magnetic field configurations and the low-energy population of electrons in relativistic jets. Conversion of linear to circular polarization can be stimulated by Faraday rotation or turbulence in the source itself. A detailed model for the properties of the radio emission of Sgr A∗ in the galactic c...
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...
