Near-IR Imaging Polarimetry toward a Bright-Rimmed Cloud: Magnetic Field in SFO 74

Takayoshi Kusune, Koji Sugitani, Jingqi Miao +7

We have made near-infrared (JHKs) imaging polarimetry of a bright-rimmed cloud (SFO 74). The polarization vector maps clearly show that the magnetic field in the layer just behind…

The efficiency and wavelength dependence of near-infrared interstellar polarization toward the Galactic center

Hirofumi Hatano, Shogo Nishiyama, Mikio Kurita +10

Near-infrared polarimetric imaging observations toward the Galactic center have been carried out to examine the efficiency and wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization. A…

Magnetic Field Configuration at the Galactic Center Investigated by Wide Field Near-Infrared Polarimetry: Transition from a Toroidal to a Poloidal Magnetic Field

Shogo Nishiyama, Hirofumi Hatano, Motohide Tamura +8

We present a large-scale view of the magnetic field in the central 2deg * 2deg region of our Galaxy. The polarization of point sources has been measured in the J, H, and Ks bands u…

Magnetic Field Configuration at the Galactic Center Investigated by Wide Field Near-Infrared Polarimetry

Shogo Nishiyama, Motohide Tamura, Hirofumi Hatano +13

We present a polarimetric map of a 20'x20' area toward the Galactic center. The polarization of point sources has been measured in the J, H, and Ks bands using the near-infrared po…
