Tracing the Magnetic Field in Orion A
Martin Houde, C. Darren Dowell, Roger. H. Hildebrand +5
We use extensive 350 um polarimetry and continuum maps obtained with Hertz and SHARC II along with HCN and HCO+ spectroscopic data to trace the orientation of the magnetic field in…
Controlling a Telescope Chopping Secondary Mirror Assembly Using a Signal Deconvolution Technique
Martin Houde, Lynn C. Holt, Hiroshige Yoshida +1
We describe a technique for improving the response of a telescope chopping secondary mirror assembly by using a signal processing method based on the Lucy deconvolution technique.…
Polarizing Grids, Their Assemblies and Beams of Radiation
Martin Houde, Rachel L. Akeson, John E. Carlstrom +3
This article gives an analysis of the behavior of polarizing grids and reflecting polarizers by solving Maxwell's equations, for arbitrary angles of incidence and grid rotation, fo…
On the Measurement of the Magnitude and Orientation of the Magnetic Field in Molecular Clouds
Martin Houde, Pierre Bastien, Jessie L. Dotson +6
We demonstrate that the combination of Zeeman, polarimetry and ion-to-neutral molecular line width ratio measurements permits the determination of the magnitude and orientation of…
The Alignment of the Magnetic Field and Collimated Outflows in Star-forming Regions: the Case of NGC 2071
Martin Houde, Thomas G. Phillips, Pierre Bastien +2
The magnetic field is believed to play a crucial role in the process of star formation. From the support it provides during the initial collapse of molecular clouds to the creation…
Probing the Magnetic Field with Molecular ion Spectra. II
Martin Houde, Ruisheng Peng, Thomas G. Phillips +2
We present further observational evidence in support of our earlier proposal (Houde et al. 2000) for detecting the presence of the magnetic field in molecular clouds by comparing s…
