Near-Infrared Polarimetry toward the Galactic Center
Shogo Nishiyama, Motohide Tamura, Hirofumi Hatano +4
Near-infrared polarimetry of point sources reveals the presence of a toroidal magnetic field in the central 20' x 20' region of our Galaxy. Comparing the Stokes parameters between…

Magnetic Field Configuration at the Galactic Center Investigated by Wide Field Near-Infrared Polarimetry
Shogo Nishiyama, Motohide Tamura, Hirofumi Hatano +13
We present a polarimetric map of a 20'x20' area toward the Galactic center. The polarization of point sources has been measured in the J, H, and Ks bands using the near-infrared po…
