Modeling the Far-Infrared Polarization Spectrum of a High-Mass Star Forming Cloud
Dennis Lee, Che-Yu Chen, Giles Novak +7
The polarization spectrum, or wavelength dependence of the polarization fraction, of interstellar dust emission provides important insights into the grain alignment mechanism of in…
The origin of dust polarization in the Orion Bar
Valentin J. M. Le Gouellec, B-G Andersson, Archana Soam +8
The linear polarization of thermal dust emission provides a powerful tool to probe interstellar and circumstellar magnetic fields, because aspherical grains tend to align themselve…
HAWC+ Far-Infrared Observations of the Magnetic Field Geometry in M51 and NGC 891
Terry Jay Jones, Jin-Ah Kim, C. Darren Dowell +29
SOFIA HAWC+ polarimetry at $154~\micron$ is reported for the face-on galaxy M51 and the edge-on galaxy NGC 891. For M51, the polarization vectors generally follow the spiral patter…
Observational evidence for rotational desorption of Complex Molecules by radiative torques from Orion BN/KL
Le Ngoc Tram, Hyeseung Lee, Thiem Hoang +5
Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) are believed to form in the ice mantle of dust grains and are released to the gas by thermal sublimation when grain mantles are heated to temperatu…
Far-Infrared Polarization Spectrum of the OMC-1 Star-Forming Region
Joseph M. Michail, Peter C. Ashton, Marc G. Berthoud +12
We analyze the wavelength dependence of the far-infrared polarization fraction toward the OMC-1 star forming region using observations from HAWC+/SOFIA at 53, 89, 154, and 214 m…
Maps of Magnetic Field Strength in the OMC-1 using HAWC+ FIR Polarimetric data
Jordan A. Guerra, David T. Chuss, C. Darren Dowell +4
Far-infrared (FIR) dust polarimetry enables the study of interstellar magnetic fields via tracing of the polarized emission from dust grains that are partially aligned with the dir…
SOFIA/HAWC+ traces the magnetic fields in NGC 1068
E. Lopez-Rodriguez, C. D. Dowell, T. J. Jones +21
We report the first detection of galactic spiral structure by means of thermal emission from magnetically aligned dust grains. Our 89 m polarimetric imaging of NGC 1068 with the…
The far-infrared polarization spectrum of Rho Ophiuchi A from HAWC+/SOFIA observations
Fabio P. Santos, David T. Chuss, C. Darren Dowell +23
We report on polarimetric maps made with HAWC+/SOFIA toward Rho Oph A, the densest portion of the Rho Ophiuchi molecular complex. We employed HAWC+ bands C (89 m) and D (154 …
SOFIA Far Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of M82 and NGC 253: Exploring the Super-Galactic Wind
Terry Jay Jones, C. Darren Dowell, Enrique Lopez Rodriguez +22
We present Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of M82 at 53 and and NGC 253 at , which were taken with HAWC+ in polarimetry mode on the Stratospheric Ob…
HAWC+/SOFIA Multiwavelength Polarimetric Observations of OMC-1
David T. Chuss, B-G Andersson, John Bally +35
We report new polarimetric and photometric maps of the massive star-forming region OMC-1 using the HAWC+ instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA).…
