dc.descriptionIn a small fraction of Broad Line Radio Galaxies (BLRG) and Seyfert 1 galaxies, the polarization position angle rotates across the broad emission lines, especially at H_alpha. An understanding of this behavior can potentially yield important information on the scattering geometry in the nucleus. We show two examples of this phenomenon, 3C 445, a BLRG, and Mrk 231, a Seyfert 1, and present an equatorial scattering model that explains some of its features in a straightforward way.
