On the Origin of Radio-loudness in Active Galactic Nuclei Using Far-infrared Polarimetric Observations

The dichotomy between radio-loud (RL) and radio-quiet (RQ) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is thought to be intrinsically related to radio jet production. This difference may be explained by the presence of a strong magnetic field ( B -field) that enhances, or is the cause of, the accretion activity a...
