First polarization study of the M87 jet and active galactic nuclei at submillimeter wavelengths with ALMA

Open Access

Fig. 3.

Polarization images of selected AGNs observed with ALMA at 0.87 mm on April 19, 2021 (see Fig. 2 for a description of the plotted quantities). The synthesized beams (represented as an ellipse in the lower-left corner of each panel) have the following sizes (and position angles): 0 $\binom{″}{\cdot}$ ${{\prime\prime \atop \cdot }}$ 36 × 0 $\binom{″}{\cdot}$ ${{\prime\prime \atop \cdot }}$ 29 (−67.5°) for 3C279, 0 $\binom{″}{\cdot}$ ${{\prime\prime \atop \cdot }}$ 38 × 0 $\binom{″}{\cdot}$ ${{\prime\prime \atop \cdot }}$ 30 (−60.8°) for 3C273, and 0 $\binom{″}{\cdot}$ ${{\prime\prime \atop \cdot }}$ 46 × 0 $\binom{″}{\cdot}$ ${{\prime\prime \atop \cdot }}$ 30 (−58.7°) for 4C01.28. Note that the EVPAs are not Faraday-corrected and that the magnetic field vectors should be rotated by 90°, ignoring Lorentz transformation and light aberration.
