Polarization angle swings in blazars: The case of 3C 279

Polarization angle swings in blazars: The case of 3C 279

Context. Over the past few years, on several occasions, large, continuous rotations of the electric vector position angle (EVPA) of linearly polarized optical emission from blazars have been reported. These events are often coincident with high energy gamma-ray flares and they have attracted conside...
