Title of the communication: Shocks still going strong in quasar jets?
-first results from new high-resolution
radio-polarization images Preliminary abstract: Linear polarization images of seven bright quasars obtained from a recent 22 GHz VLBA observation are presented. The first results from an analysis of the core-jet magnetic field structure will be described and discussed in the context of the predictions by relativistic shock models. The question whether quasars jets are intrinsically different from BL Lac jets, as suggested by 5 GHz polarization observations, may be addressed.
