Measuring Magnetic Field Strengths in Galactic Star-forming Regions via the Zeeman Effect with the SKA
Tyler L. Bourke, Tao-Chung Ching, Laura Fissel +14
Magnetic fields thread the interstellar medium from the largest to the smallest scales and play an important role in molecular cloud evolution and star formation. Quantifying this…
SIMPLIFI -- Study of Interstellar Magnetic Polarization: a Legacy Investigation of Filaments. I. Magnetically-Guided Accretion onto the DR21 Ridge
Thushara G. S. Pillai, Jens Kauffmann, Juan D. Soler +15
We present first results from SIMPLIFI (Study of Interstellar Magnetic Polarization: a Legacy Investigation of Filaments), a SOFIA/HAWC+ polarimetric survey of Galac…
Magnetic field alignment with dense cores in the transition between cloud and core scales
Sean Yin, Ayush Pandhi, Rachel Friesen +7
In a magnetically-dominated model of star formation, we expect to see alignments between the magnetic field orientation of star-forming dense cores and the cloud-scale magnetic fie…
SIMPLIFI-Study of Interstellar Magnetic Polarization: A Legacy Investigation of Filaments. II. Enhancement of grain alignment near embedded protostars in the DR21 Ridge
S. Kumar, T. G. S. Pillai, G. V. Panopoulou +10
Thermal dust continuum polarimetry is a powerful indirect probe of magnetic field geometry in dense molecular clouds while at the same time providing information on the alignment o…
Tracing Cloud Formation and Evolution Through 3D Magnetic Field Mapping
Mehrnoosh Tahani, Laura Fissel, Enrique Lopez Rodriguez +1
We propose to use the unprecedented polarization sensitivity of PRIMA's PRIMAger Polarization Imager and its high resolution in Band 1 (92 m) to map magnetic fields across two…
Joint Analysis of HI Absorption Zeeman Measurements and the Morphology of Filamentary HI Emission
Marta Nowotka, Susan E. Clark, Blakesley Burkhart +4
We present a joint analysis of HI absorption Zeeman measurements and the morphology of filamentary HI emission to investigate the three-dimensional structure of the magnetic field…
