摘要

We present the results of parsec-scale circular polarization measurements based on Very Long Baseline Array data for a number of radio-bright, core-dominated active galactic nuclei obtained simultaneously at 22 and 15 GHz. The degrees of circular polarization m(c) for the VLBI core region at 15 GHz are similar to values reported earlier at this wavelength, with typical values of a few tenths of a percent. The origin of this polarization is almost certainly the conversion of linear to circular polarization during the propagation of the radiation through a magnetised plasma. We find that m(c) is as often higher as lower at the higher frequency, for reasons that are not clear. Our results confirm the earlier finding that the sign of the circular polarization at a given observing frequency is generally consistent across epochs separated by several years or more, suggesting stability of the magnetic field orientation in the innermost jets.
