Several studies attribute their origin to starburst winds or accretion disk driven winds while many others suggest a AGN-jet driven outflow. We try to investigate the role of star formation versus that of jets in the formation of these outflows. We observed a sample of KSRs along with a sample of starburst galaxies using the EVLA. We aim to do a systematic study of the two populations by comparing their polarization and spectral index properties. Specifically we would be looking for differences in magnetic field structures, rotation measures and fractional polarization in these matched sub-samples. We will present some early results for a few of the galaxies in the sample. |
