Evidence for helical B-fields in the jets of BL Lac objects

The parsec-scale radio jets of BL Lacertae objects imaged with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) show a number of distinctive features. The most striking of these is the dominance of transverse magnetic fields on the wide range of scales probed by VLBI observations at frequencies from 43 to 5...
