Abstract
Polarization is a critical parameter for understanding jet flows, as their radio to optical emission is produced by synchrotron radiation, which is naturally polarized, with the inferred magnetic field direction indicating the magnetic field direction in the emission region. Polarization has proven essential in characterizing the physics of FR I jets, where it has helped us map out their magnetic field and energetic structure and the relationship of this structure to the high-energy emission and particle acceleration. To date, high-quality HST polarimetry has been analyzed for just one FR II jet, that of PKS 1136-135. To rectify this, we have obtained new HST polarimetry observations of three key FR II jets - 3C 273, PKS 0637-752, and 1150+497. These new observations allow for the determination of the magnetic field structure and confirmation of which emission mechanisms are operating to create the observed optical to X-ray emission, and will allow us to greatly advance modeling efforts for these jets and nail down their kinetic power, a key parameter for understanding quasars and their cosmological effects.
