Magnetic Fields and the Polarization of Astrophysical Maser Radiation: A Review
William D. Watson
Basic aspects of the relationship between the magnetic field and polarized maser radiation are described with the emphasis on interpreting the observed spectra. Special attention i…
Anisotropy of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and Polarization of the Spectral Lines of Molecules
D. S. Wiebe, W. D. Watson
The anisotropy of velocities in MHD turbulence is demonstrated explicitly by calculating the velocity gradients as a function of direction in representative simulations of decaying…
Line Polarization of Molecular Lines at Radio Frequencies: The case of DR21(OH)
P. C. Cortes, R. M. Crutcher, W. D. Watson
We present polarization observations in DR21(OH) from thermal dust emission at 3 mm and from CO J=1-0 line emission. The observations were obtained using the Berkeley-Illinois-Mary…
Irregular Magnetic Fields and the Far-Infrared Polarimetry of Dust Emission from Interstellar Clouds
D. S. Wiebe, W. D. Watson
(abridged) The polarized thermal radiation at far infrared and submillimeter wavelengths from dust grains in interstellar clouds with irregular magnetic fields is simulated. We sho…
Anisotropy of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and the Polarized Spectra of OH Masers
William D. Watson, Dmitri S. Wiebe, Jonathan C. McKinney +1
We consider astrophysical maser radiation that is created in the presence of mildly supersonic, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. The focus is on the OH masers for which the ma…
Apparent Sizes and Spectral Line Profiles for Spherical and Disk Masers: Solutions to the Full Equations
W. D. Watson, H. W. Wyld
Calculations are performed for the spectral line profiles and images of astrophysical maser radiation that emerges from isolated spheres and thin disks viewed edge-on. In contrast…
