Magnetic field structure of the Galactic plane from differential analysis of interstellar polarization
Tetsuya Zenko, Tetsuya Nagata, Mikio Kurita +4
A new method for measuring the global magnetic field structure of the Galactic plane is presented. We have determined the near-infrared polarization of field stars around 52 Cephei…
The efficiency and wavelength dependence of near-infrared interstellar polarization toward the Galactic center
Hirofumi Hatano, Shogo Nishiyama, Mikio Kurita +10
Near-infrared polarimetric imaging observations toward the Galactic center have been carried out to examine the efficiency and wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization. A…
Magnetic Field Configuration at the Galactic Center Investigated by Wide Field Near-Infrared Polarimetry: Transition from a Toroidal to a Poloidal Magnetic Field
Shogo Nishiyama, Hirofumi Hatano, Motohide Tamura +8
We present a large-scale view of the magnetic field in the central 2deg * 2deg region of our Galaxy. The polarization of point sources has been measured in the J, H, and Ks bands u…
