Connecting Magnetic Towers with Faraday Rotation Gradients in Active Galactic Nuclei Jets

The idea that systematic Faraday Rotation gradients across the parsec-scale jets of AGNs can reveal the presence of helical magnetic (B) fields has been around since the early 1990s. These gradients are taken to be due to the systematic variation of the line of sight-B-field across the jet. We prese...
