Scientific paper

In the absence of a strong magnetic field, the emission of photons is a random process and light is unpolarized. The mere presence of POLARIZATION therefore signifies asymmetry in the emission mechanism or light path through a source—structural details which in principle may be inferred from observations of sufficient quality. Since radiation sources in the nucleus of an ACTIVE GALAXY generally ...
