Diagnosing Magnetic Field Geometry in Blazar Jets Using Multi-Frequency, Centimeter-Band Polarimetry and Radiative Transfer Modeling

Diagnosing Magnetic Field Geometry in Blazar Jets Using Multi-Frequency, Centimeter-Band Polarimetry and Radiative Transfer Modeling

We use multi-frequency linear polarization observations from the University of Michigan blazar program (UMRAO), in combination with radiative transfer simulations of emission from a relativistic jet, to investigate the time-dependent flow conditions, including magnetic field geometry, in an example...
