Scientific paper

The authors present some first results of a program to map the distribution of linear polarization in compact radio sources with milliarcsecond resolution. They show first-epoch maps of 3C 345 and 0735+178 and first- and second-epoch maps of OJ 287. In general, the polarization is mainly associated with optically thin (jet) components. In the case of OJ 287, polarization maps made 1 year apart are strikingly different. The authors also discuss some of the theoretical issues raised by these observations.
