cds-question@unistra.frradio-sourcesbl-lacertae-objectsactive-galactic-nucleiquasarspolarimetryWe report first-epoch circular polarization results for 133 active galactic nuclei in the MOJAVE (Monitoring of Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei with VLBA Experiments) program to monitor the structure and polarization of a flux-limited sample of extragalactic radio jets with the VLBA at 15GHz. We found strong circular polarization (0.3%) in approximately 15% of our sample. The circular polarization was usually associated with jet cores; however, we did find a few strong jet components to be circularly polarized.2006AJ....131.1262Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/131/1262CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/235 : Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei (11th Ed.)
