Interstellar Polarization Survey. V. Galactic magnetic field tomography in the spiral arms using optical and near-infrared starlight polarization
Y. Angarita, M. J. F. Versteeg, M. Haverkorn +5
Interstellar linear polarization occurs when starlight passes through elongated dust grains aligned by interstellar magnetic fields. The observed polarization can come from differe…

Interstellar Polarization Survey. IV. Characterizing the magnetic field strength and turbulent dispersion using optical starlight polarization in the diffuse interstellar medium
Y. Angarita, M. J. F. Versteeg, M. Haverkorn +5
Angular dispersion functions are typically used to estimate the fluctuations in polarization angle around the mean magnetic field orientation in dense regions, such as molecular cl…

Magnetic fields in the Southern Coalsack and beyond
M. J. F. Versteeg, Y. Angarita, A. M. Magalhães +4
Starlight polarimetry, when combined with accurate distance measurements, allows for exploration of the three-dimensional structure of local magnetic fields in great detail. We pre…
