SOFIA/HAWC+ Far-InfraRed Polarimetric Large Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) Survey I: General Results from the Pilot Program

Natalie O. Butterfield, David T. Chuss, Jordan A. Guerra +9

We present the first data release (DR1) of the Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey. The survey was taken using the 214-micron band of the HAWC+…

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…

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…
