Analyzing PAHs as a Tracer of Anomalous Microwave Emission Near the Galactic Plane Using the COSMOGLOBE DIRBE Reduction
Dylan M. Pare, David T. Chuss, Danielle Sponseller +2
The physical mechanism producing Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) has been an unresolved puzzle for close to 30 years. One candidate mechanism is rotational emission from polycyc…
The Complex Magnetic Field of the Extreme Galactic Center: PRIMA Science Potential
Dylan M. Paré, David T. Chuss, Kaitlyn Karpovich +4
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Galactic Center (GC) region of the Milky Way contains a substantial fraction of the molecular mass of the Galaxy >10e7 solar masses yet exhi…
Parallel Alignments between Magnetic Fields and Dense Structures in the Central Molecular Zone
Xing Pan, Qizhou Zhang, Keping Qiu +8
The recent Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area Central Molecular Zone Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey with SOFIA has mapped plane-of-the-sky magnetic field orientations within the…
SOFIA/HAWC+ Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large Area CMZ Exploration Survey. V. The Magnetic Field Strength and Morphology in the Sagittarius C Complex
Roy J. Zhao, Mark R. Morris, David T. Chuss +5
We present an analysis of the magnetic field strength and morphology in the Sagittarius C complex (Sgr C; G359.43-0.09) in the Milky Way Galaxy's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), usin…
SOFIA/HAWC+ Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area CMZ Exploration Survey. IV. Relative Magnetic Field Orientation Throughout the CMZ
Dylan M. Paré, David T. Chuss, Kaitlyn Karpovich +8
The nature of the magnetic field structure throughout the Galactic Center (GC) has long been of interest. The recent Far-InfraREd Polarimetric Large-Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE…
Modeling the Far-Infrared Polarization Spectrum of a High-Mass Star Forming Cloud
Dennis Lee, Che-Yu Chen, Giles Novak +7
The polarization spectrum, or wavelength dependence of the polarization fraction, of interstellar dust emission provides important insights into the grain alignment mechanism of in…
