Abstract

The detection of circular polarisation in compact synchrotron sources provides new insights into magnetic field configurations and the low-energy population of electrons in relativistic jets. Conversion of linear to circular polarisation can be driven by Faraday rotation or turbulence in the source itself. A detailed model for the properties of Sgr A* in the galactic centre is presented.
