Polarisation and Faraday rotation measure imaging at metre wavelengths with sub-arcsecond resolution: a foundational calibration strategy

R. J. van Weeren, J. M. G. H. J. de Jong, X. K Le Saux +12

Low-frequency radio polarimetric observations provide a powerful probe of magnetic fields in astrophysical sources and the intervening medium, as well as magnetospheric emission fr…

Observed Faraday Effects in Damped Lyman-Alpha Absorbers and Lyman Limit Systems: The Magnetised Environment of Galactic Building Blocks at Redshift=2

J. S. Farnes, L. Rudnick, B. M. Gaensler +3

Protogalactic environments are typically identified using quasar absorption lines, and these galactic building blocks can manifest as Damped Lyman-Alpha Absorbers (DLAs) and Lyman…
