18–22 cm VLBA Observational Evidence for Toroidal B-Field Components in Six AGN Jets
The formation of relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is related to accretion onto their central supermassive black holes, and magnetic (B) fields are believed to play a central role in launching, collimating, and accelerating the jet streams from very compact regions out to kiloparsec...
