Milli-arcsecond Scale Rotation Measure in Two CSSs

2001 
Two Compact Steep-spectrum Sources (CSSs), 0548+165 and 1524-136, have been observed in dual polarization with the VLBA at 4.9 and 8.4 GHz. Rotation measures (RMs) up to 104 rad m−2 were derived for the jets of both sources. These high values possibly arise due to the external medium interacting with the radio jets, with measured depolarization being due to small-scale inhomogeneities in the medium.
