Evidence for Helical Magnetic Fields Associated with AGN Jets and the Action of a Cosmic Battery
Theoretical models for the electromagnetic launching of astrophysical jets have long indicated that this process should generate helical magnetic fields, which should then propagate outward with the jet plasma. Polarization observations of jets are key for testing this idea, since they provide direc...
