Polarization swings reveal magnetic energy dissipation in blazars
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
The polarization signatures of blazar emissions are known to be highly variable. In addition to small fluctuations of the polarization angle around a mean value, large (gsim180°) polarization angle swings are sometimes ...
Multiwavelength polarization as a diagnostic of blazar physics
(Sissa Medialab, 2015)
The nature of the high-energy emission in jet-dominated AGN (especially blazars) as well as the
location and mode of acceleration of particles to ultra- relativistic energies are a matter of intensive debate. Both leptonic ...
