Abstract
An earlier comparison of simultaneous optical and 6 cm VLEI
observations of polarization showed a correlation of their position angles which
were either aligned or perpendicular. Gabuzda et al. (2005) proposed that
the radio cores with their polarization aligned with optical polarization were
predominantly optically thin, while the radio cores whose polarization was perpendicular
to optical polarization were optically thick. We present the first
results from new coordinated optical and high-frequency VLBA polarization
observations of 15 AG::-.Js designed to test this hypothesis.
