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 Galact…

Magnetic fields of the starless core L 1512

Sheng-Jun Lin, Shih-Ping Lai, Kate Pattle +6

We present JCMT POL-2 850 um dust polarization observations and Mimir H band stellar polarization observations toward the starless core L1512. We detect the highly-ordered core-sca…

Near-Infrared Polarization from Unresolved Disks Around Brown Dwarfs and Young Stellar Objects

Dan P. Clemens, Thushara G. S. Pillai, Anneliese M. Rilinger +1

Wide-field near-infrared (NIR) polarimetry was used to examine disk systems around two brown dwarfs (BD) and two young stellar objects (YSO) embedded in the Heiles Cloud 2 (HCl2) d…

Magnetic fields and Star Formation around HII regions: The S235 complex

R. Devaraj, D. P. Clemens, L. K. Dewangan +3

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous and essential in star formation. In particular, their role in regulating formation of stars across diverse environments like HII regions needs to be…

Probing Interstellar Grain Growth Through Polarimetry in the Taurus Cloud Complex

John E. Vaillancourt, B-G Andersson, Dan P. Clemens +4

The optical and near-infrared (OIR) polarization of starlight is typically understood to arise from the dichroic extinction of that light by dust grains whose axes are aligned with…

Magnetized filamentary gas flows feeding the young embedded cluster in Serpens South

Thushara G. S. Pillai, Dan P. Clemens, Stefan Reissl +11

Observations indicate that molecular clouds are strongly magnetized, and that magnetic fields influence the formation of stars. A key observation supporting the conclusion that mol…
