MOJAVE Rotation Measure Maps
Click on a total
intensity image thumbnail below for the 8.1-15.3 GHz rotation measure map. Sources with more than one thumbnail have RM maps at multiple epochs.
The rotation
measure maps were produced as part of a project to
study Faraday
rotation in a sample of 191 compact
radio-loud AGNs in the MOJAVE sample, and have been published by
Hovatta
et al. 2012. The observations were carried out
with
the VLBA at 8.1, 8.4, 12.1 and 15.3 GHz over 12 epochs in 2006. We
detected
sufficiently strong linear polarization in 159 out of 211 observations
to
calculate rotation measure values.
