Scientific paper

New observations are reported which establish that, in high-luminosity extragalactic radio sources, the jet side depolarizes less rapidly with increasing wavelength than the opposite side. If the jet one-sidedness is intrinsic, this depolarization most probably occurs internally, but if the one-sidedness is due to Doppler beaming, the depolarization must occur in a foreground screen. Further detailed polarization observations, which can determine whether the depolarization in such sources is internal or external, should therefore settle whether jets are intrinsically or only apparently one-sided.
