The multiphase interstellar medium as a common origin for magnetic misalignment and TB parity violation
Andrea Bracco, Ari J. Cukierman, Raphael Skalidis +1
We present an original data analysis and a physical model that provide new insights into the origin of, and relationship between, two observables of the dusty, polarized Galaxy at…
Evidence for cloud-to-cloud variations in the ratio of polarized thermal dust emission to starlight polarization
Nidhi Mehandiratta, Georgia V. Panopoulou, Eirik Gjerløw +12
The correlation between optical starlight polarization and polarized thermal dust emission can be used to infer intrinsic dust properties. This correlation is quantified by the rat…
Investigating the role of magnetic fields in the formation and evolution of striations in interstellar clouds with PRIMA
Raphael Skalidis, Konstantinos Tassis, Aris Tritsis +1
Striations are diffuse, linear, quasi-periodic, and magnetized structures located in the outskirts of molecular clouds. These structures seem to play an important role during the e…
Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter Control Software
John A. Kypriotakis, Bhushan Joshi, Dmitry Blinov +19
The WALOPControl software is designed to facilitate comprehensive control and operation of the WALOP (Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter) polarimeters, ensuring safe and concurre…
A three-step approach to reliably estimate magnetic field strengths in star-forming regions
Aristeidis Polychronakis, Aris Tritsis, Raphael Skalidis +1
The magnetic field is known to play a crucial role in star formation. Dust polarization is an effective tool for probing the morphology of the field, yet it does not directly trace…
The H2 Glow of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud Observed with JWST
Paul F. Goldsmith, Shengzhe Wang, Xin Wang +6
We report JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the H2 S(1) 17.04 micron transition in two regions in the boundary of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The two regions, denoted Edge (near the re…
