Direct Imaging of a Toroidal Magnetic Field in the Inner Jet of NRAO 150

Most formation models and numerical simulations cause a helical magnetic field to form, accelerate and collimate jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN). For this reason, observational direct evidence for the existence of these helical magnetic fields is of special relevance. In this work, we present u...
