Circular polarization of AGNs on the parsec VLBI scales
Faraday effects possibly plays the major role in generation of circular polarization observed on Very Long Base Interferometry scales. Multi-frequency circular polarization measurementrs can become the desired breakthrough in understanding the active galactic nuclei jet physics and the only possibil...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | Faraday effects possibly plays the major role in generation of circular polarization observed on Very Long Base Interferometry scales. Multi-frequency circular polarization measurementrs can become the desired breakthrough in understanding the active galactic nuclei jet physics and the only possibility to estimate some of their vital parameters. We review the possible mechanisms of circular polarization generation and their connection to the jet parameters. We throw a glimpse on the methods of data reduction and finally discuss our current observational progress and its possible interpretation.
