J/MNRAS/190/205 Magnetic fields in radio sources (Clarke+ 1980) ================================================================================ Evidence for the magnetic-field orientation in extragalactic radio sources Clarke J.N., Kronberg P.P, Simard-Normandin M.=1980MNRAS.190..205C ================================================================================ Keywords: radio sources: radio galaxies - polarisation: rotation measures Abstract: The difference, dPA, between the structural and polarization position angles has been measured for 209 extragalactic radio sources. For highly-polarized sources the distribution of dPA shows clear peaks at PA=90 and 0 deg, with very few sources at intermediate values of dPA. As the polarization decreases, the distribution becomes smeared out, and the peak at PA=0d quickly disappears. The correlation between radio luminosity and dPA, seen by Haves & Conway (1975MNRAS.173P..53H), is much stronger for highly-polarized sources. Sources with maximum polarization >=11% and PA~90 or ~0d are almost always classical doubles with narrow, collinear structure, while sources with lower p_max OR intermediate PA tend to have off-axis structure. The investigation of this large sample suggests that magnetic fields within tails and bridges in radio sources may always be symmetrical about the radio trails, even for sources with low polarization and off-axis structure.
