Circular polarisation in compact radio sources: Constraints on particle acceleration and electron-positron pairs

It is shown that the frequency distribution of the degree of circular polarisation for a homogeneous source is sensitive to the properties of the synchrotron emitting plasma. Most of the circular polarisation comes from the region around the turn-over frequency, where the synchrotron radiation becom...
