Optical/Ultraviolet Continuum Polarization of AGN Accretion Disks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We show how the effects of Faraday rotation and a detailed treatment of the radiative transfer can address various aspects of the polarization problem of AGN accretion disks. In particular, we show how accretion disks might explain the rises in polarization observed blueward of the Lyman edge in several quasars.
