Deriving AGN properties from circular and linear radio polarimetry
Abstract
We report multi-frequency circular polarization measurements for the radio source 0056-00 taken at the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope. The data reduction is based on a new calibration procedure that allows the contemporary measurement of the four Stokes parameters with single-dish radio telescopes.
