Synchrotron Polarization Signatures of Surface Waves in Supermassive Black Hole Jets
Supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei are known to launch relativistic jets, which are observed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum and thought to be efficient particle accelerators. Their primary radiation mechanism for radio emission is polarized synchrotron emission produced b...
