Low optical polarization at the core of the optically thin jet of M87
We study the optical linear and circular polarization in the optically thin regime of the core and jet of M87. Observations were acquired two days before the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) campaign in early 2017 April. A high degree (∼20 per cent) of linear polarization (P lin) is detected in the bright jet knots resolved at $\sim 10\,\mathrm{ to}\
