First Observation of the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum in a Translucent Molecular Cloud

Peter C. Ashton, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +27

Polarized emission from aligned dust is a crucial tool for studies of magnetism in the ISM and a troublesome contaminant for studies of CMB polarization. In each case, an understan…
