Using Scattered Near-Infrared Light to Map Water Ice in Prestellar Cores with SPHEREx

Tamojeet Roychowdhury, Jennifer B. Bergner, Jens Kauffmann +2

We present the first coreshine-derived, spatially-resolved maps of the 3 m HO ice absorption feature in four prestellar cores, using SPHEREx spectra. Ices are a key componen…

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…

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…

FIELDMAPS Data Release: Far-Infrared Polarization in the "Bones" of the Milky Way

Simon Coudé, Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers +13

Polarization observations of the Milky Way and many other spiral galaxies have found a close correspondence between the orientation of spiral arms and magnetic field lines on scale…

Magnetic Fields in the Bones of the Milky Way

Ian W. Stephens, Simon Coude, Philip C. Myers +20

Stars primarily form in galactic spiral arms within dense, filamentary molecular clouds. The largest and most elongated of these molecular clouds are referred to as ``bones," which…

Grain alignment and dust evolution physics with polarisation (GRADE-POL). I. Dust polarisation modelling for isolated starless cores

Le Ngoc Tram, Thiem Hoang, Alex Lazarian +6

The polarisation of light induced by aligned interstellar dust serves as a significant tool in investigating cosmic magnetic fields, dust properties, and poses a challenge in chara…

Revisiting rotationally excited CH at radio wavelengths: A case study towards W51

Arshia M. Jacob, Meera Nandakumar, Nirupam Roy +7

Ever since they were first detected in the interstellar medium, the radio wavelength (3.3 GHz) hyperfine-structure splitting transitions in the rotational ground state of CH have b…
