Circular polarization images at 15GHz of AGN jets

DOI

We report first-epoch circular polarization results for 133 active galactic nuclei in the MOJAVE (Monitoring of Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei with VLBA Experiments) program to monitor the structure and polarization of a flux-limited sample of extragalactic radio jets with the VLBA at 15GHz. We found strong circular polarization (0.3%) in approximately 15% of our sample. The circular polarization was usually associated with jet cores; however, we did find a few strong jet components to be circularly polarized.
