Polarization observations of the hot-spot Pictor A West: shocks in backflows?
We present optical polarization maps of the western hot-spot of the radio galaxy Pictor A. We confirm the presence of optical emission in a bar-shaped structure extending over 24 arcsec perpendicular to the jet direction upstream of the hot-spot. We find its optical emission to be highly polarized w...
