Collimation and polarization of radiation through scattering by jets
| Author | |
| Abstract |
When radiation from an underlying accretion flow is Compton scattered by a relativistic jet, the resulting beamed radiation can be highly polarized. We consider this as the mechanism for producing the infrared, optical, ultraviolet and possibly X-ray continuum of blazars during their quiescent states. |
