Dispersion of Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds. I
Roger H. Hildebrand, Larry Kirby, Jessie L. Dotson +2
We describe a method for determining the dispersion of magnetic field vectors about large-scale fields in turbulent molecular clouds. The method is designed to avoid inaccurate est…
New Results on the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum of the Orion Molecular Cloud
J. E. Vaillancourt, C. D. Dowell, R. H. Hildebrand +7
We have used the SHARP polarimeter at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to map the polarization at wavelengths of 350 and 450 micron in a ~2 x 3 arcmin region of the Orion Mole…
Far-infrared polarimetry from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
J. E. Vaillancourt, D. T. Chuss, R. M. Crutcher +8
Multi-wavelength imaging polarimetry at far-infrared wavelengths has proven to be an excellent tool for studying the physical properties of dust, molecular clouds, and magnetic fie…
The Dusty Disk of the Early Galaxy NGC 3656
Lerothodi L. Leeuw, Jacqueline Davidson, C. Darren Dowell +2
SHARC II, 350-micron continuum and archival HST J-H band maps are presented of NGC 3656, the brightest of our sample of six elliptical galaxies for which resolved CO gas disks have…
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…
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…
