A model for the magnetic-field structure in extended radio sources
Open accessAbstract
This paper describes a model for the magnetic-field configuration in extended radio sources in which an initially random field has been compressed or sheared to lie entirely in one plane. The polarization properties of radiation from electrons in such a field are evaluated and the expected degree and direction for some simple geometries are derived. The predictions of the model are in good agreement with observations of extragalactic radio sources and of the filaments in the Crab Nebula.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
