Radio Galaxies: Polarimetry

Scientific paper

Most of our visual perceptions of the World around us, particularly in daylight, are derived from radiation which has been reflected or scattered. Conse~ Uently, we are continually bathed in nearly polanzed light even if only the 10yaI followers of M. Mi'nnaert (1954) use the phenomenon of "Haidinger's Brush" ~o make themselves aware of it. At night, y Contrast and with the exception of the Moon and planets, most of the astronomical sources we see are both self-Iuminous and highly spherically symmetrie. Polarized light in astronomy is therefore the exception rather than the rule but, when it is observed, it can prove a valuable diagnostic either of exotic radiation mechanisms or of anisotropie scattering geometries.
