A low frequency study of linear polarization in radio galaxies

Vijay H. Mahatma, Martin J. Hardcastle, Jeremy Harwood +4

Radio galaxies are linearly polarized -- an important property that allows us to infer the properties of the magnetic field of the source and its environment. However at low freque…
