22 Mar 1999 | | Journal: | Astrophys.J. 518 (1999) L87-L90 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | 1 and 2), David H. Roberts and John F. C. Wardle ( Brandeis University, Current address: MIT Haystack Observatory | | Abstract: | As part of our study of the magnetic fields of AGN we have recently observed a large sample of blazars with the Very Long Baseline Array. Here we report the discovery of a striking two-component jet in the source 1055+018, consisting of an inner spine with a transverse magnetic field, and a fragmentary but distinct boundary layer with a longitudinal magnetic field. The polarization distribution in the spine strongly supports shocked-jet models while that in the boundary layer suggests interaction with the surrounding medium. This behavior suggests a new way to understand the differing polarization properties of strong- and weak-lined blazars. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9903330 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
