Magnetic fields and strong density waves in the interacting galaxy NGC 3627
arXiv:astro-ph/9904323
Abstract
We present 10.55 GHz observations of strong density-wave spiral NGC 3627. Total power and polarization maps with a resolution of 1.13', sensitive to a weak extended emmision were obtained. In the analysiz we used also available data in the CO ans H_alpha lines. We present simple modelling results showing the imprtance of large-scale dynamo-type magnetic field present despite the strong density-wave action in this galaxy.
