摘要:

我们研究了1型和2型射电强(RL)和射电静(RQ)类星体的光学线偏振位置角与宿主星系/扩展发射方向之间的相关性。我们已经使用高分辨率哈勃太空望远镜(HST)的数据和反卷积过程中获得一个很好的确定主星系的方向。通过这些新的测量和文献中的数据汇编,我们发现偏振位置角和主星系/扩展发射主轴的位置角之间存在显着的相关性。1型和2型天体的相关性似乎不同,取决于源的红移。统一模型的框架内的解释进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

We investigate correlations between the optical linear polarization position angle and the orientation of the host galaxy/extended emission of Type 1 and Type 2 Radio-Loud (RL) and Radio-Quiet (RQ) quasars. We have used high resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data and deconvolution process to obtain a good determination of the host galaxy orientation. With these new measurements and a compilation of data from the literature, we find a significant correlation between the polarization position angle and the position angle of the major axis of the host galaxy/extended emission. The correlation appears different for Type 1 and Type 2 objects and depends on the redshift of the source. Interpretations in the framework of the unification model are discussed.
