Multifrequency polarimetry of high-synchrotron peaked blazars probes the shape of their jets

Open Access

Fig. 1.

Shape of the jet. The boundary radius, R₀, is proportional to z₀^q, where z₀ is the distance from the supermassive black hole. The value of the parameter q < 1 depends on the pressure profile of the external medium that collimates the jet. The line of sight makes an angle θ_obs with respect to the direction of the jet axis.
