A Model of Polarisation Rotations in Blazars from Kink Instabilities in Relativistic Jets
This paper presents a simple model of polarisation rotation in optically thin relativistic jets of blazars. The model is based on the development of helical (kink) mode of current-driven instability. A possible explanation is suggested for the observational connection between polarisation rotations...
