Reference frames used for maser positions and velocities, and magnetic fields. (a) Transformation of coordinates by rotation around the line-of-sight axis los over the position angle of the jet to bring Dec onto the sky-projected jet axis xl. (b) Transformation of coordinates by rotation around the axis R over the inclination angle of the jet to bring xl onto the jet axis ɀ. (c) Transformation of coordinates by rotation around the axis ɀ over the rotation angle ϕ of the maser position to bring along the direction êρ. (d) Decomposition of the maser velocity into the axial (vɀ), radial (vρ), and azimuthal (vϕ) components.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
