Special session at EAS2020 in Leiden: SS6 “Multiwavelength polarization of blazar jets”, on June 20, 2020
Special session SS6 “Multiwavelength polarization of blazar jets”, on June 20 at the EAS2020 in Leiden. Blazars are among the most intriguing and consistently bright objects in the observable Universe. They are the most extreme class of active galactic nuclei with powerful relativistic jets that can extend out to kpc-scales from the central engine. Despite [...]
