We report Atacama-Large-millimeter-Array (ALMA) Band 6 full-polarization observations of the lensed blazar PKS1830-211 during its record-breaking radio and gamma-ray flare in the spring of 2019. The observations were taken close to the peak…

We present full-polarization observations of the compact, steep-spectrum radio quasar 3C~286 made with the ALMA at 1.3~mm. These are the first full-polarization ALMA observations, which were obtained in the framework of Science…

The launching mechanism of the jets of active galactic nuclei is observationally poorly constrained, due to the large distances to these objects and the very small scales (sub-parsec) involved. In order to better constrain theoretical…

We studied the polarization behavior of the quasar 3C 273 over the 1 mm wavelength band at ALMA with a total bandwidth of 7.5GHz across 223 to 243 GHz at 0.8 arcsec resolution, corresponding to 2.1 kpc at the distance of 3C 273. With these…

Time variability of astronomical sources provides crude information on their typical size and on the implied physical mechanisms. PKS1830-211 is a remarkable radio-bright lensed quasar with a foreground molecular absorber at z=0.89.…

We report on the first results of the POLAMI program, a simultaneous 3.5 and 1.3mm full-Stokes-polarisation monitoring of a sample of 36 of the brightest active galactic nuclei in the northern sky with the IRAM 30m Telescope. Through a…

We present high sensitivity and absolutely calibrated images of diffuse radio polarisation at a resolution of about 10 arcmin covering the range 10 degr <l<34 degr and |b|<5 degr at 2.3 GHz from the S-band Parkes All Sky Survey and at 4.8…

Short millimeter observations of radio-loud AGN offer the opportunity to study the physics of their inner relativistic jets, from where the bulk millimeter emission is radiated. Millimeter jets are significantly less affected by Faraday…

We present full-polarization observations at $\lambda = 0.87$ mm (345 GHz) conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward Messier 87 (M87) and seven other radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). We determine…

Multi-frequency polarimetry with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) telescope has revealed absolute Faraday Rotation Measures (RMs) in excess of 1000 rad/m/m in the central regions of 7 out of 8 strong quasars studied (e.g., 3C 273, 3C…

We describe the POLAMI program for the monitoring of all four Stokes parameters of a sample of bright radio-loud active galactic nuclei with the IRAM 30m telescope at 3.5 and 1.3mm. The program started in October 2006 and accumulated, until…

Using the first station of the Long Wavelength Array (LWA1), we examine polarized pulsar emission between 25 and 88 MHz. Polarized light from pulsars undergoes Faraday rotation as it passes through the magnetized interstellar medium.…

With high-sensitivity kiloparsec-scale radio polarimetry, we can examine the jet-medium interactions and get a better understanding of the blazar divide in radio-loud (RL) AGN. We are analyzing the radio polarimetric observations with the…

We present the polarization observations toward the circumstellar disk around HD 142527 by using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at the frequency of 343 GHz. The beam size is $0.51 " \times 0.44 "$, which corresponds to…

Millimeter-band polarimetry offers a powerful probe of AGN jets, accessing regions less affected by opacity and Faraday rotation than at longer radio wavelengths. As part of the POLAMI program, we have conducted 14 years of 1 mm and 3 mm…

PKS 1830$-$211 is a $\gamma$-ray emitting, high-redshift (z $= 2.507 \pm 0.002$), lensed flat-spectrum radio quasar. During the period mid-February to mid-April 2019, this source underwent a series of strong $\gamma$-ray flares that were…

We report preliminary results of our study of linear polarization in the pulsar emission at 35 & 327 MHz. We have exploited for this purpose the spectral modulation resulting from the differential Faraday rotation across the observed band.…

Polarization is a unique tool to study the properties of dust grains of protoplanetary disks and detail the initial conditions of planet formation. Polarization around HL Tau was previously imaged using the Atacama Large…
