Discovery of minute-scale polarization angle rotation in a supermassive black hole jet

Aristeidis Polychronakis, Ioannis Liodakis, Dmitry Blinov +7

Relativistic jets from supermassive black holes oriented towards our line of sight called blazars have puzzled the astronomical community for decades. Their fast jets and preferent…
