Circular polarization in intraday variable blazars
We have measured Stokes IUQV of several rapidly variable and gamma-bright blazars and detected variable optical circular polarization, occasionally exceeding 1%, in 3C 279. We discuss possible origins for significant amounts of circular polarization (CP) in blazars and suggest direct CP from particl...
