New insights into the study of magnetic field in the clumpy torus of AGN using near-infrared polarimetry
We present J, H and Kn imaging polarimetry of IC5063. NIR polarimetry observations may advance our understanding of the mechanisms of polarisation and hence magnetic field strength in the torus of AGN. In these proceedings we summarize the polarisation results of the central 1.2'' aperture (˜263 pc) of IC5063. We present a simple polarising model
