The Polarization Behavior of Relativistic Synchrotron Self-Compton Jets

A. L. Peirson, R. W. Romani

We describe a geometric model for synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) radiation from blazar jets, involving multiple emission zones with turbulent magnetic fields and fu…

Prospects for Detecting X-ray Polarization in Blazar Jets

I. Liodakis, A. L. Peirson, R. W. Romani

X-ray polarization should provide new probes of magnetic field geometry and acceleration physics near the base of blazar jets, but near-future missions will have limited sensitivit…
