Scientific paper

The authors suggest that the observed circular polarization of compact extragalactic radio sources is due to both a synchrotron emission mechanism and ciruclar repolarization in the process of quasi-longitudinal propagation of radiation through the radio sources' plasmas. The addition of circular repolarization eliminates some of the difficulties in assuming synchrotron emission as the only mechanism for the observed circular polarization reported in the Weiler and de Pater catalog.
