The correct sense of Faraday rotation
K. Ferrière, J. L. West, T. R. Jaffe
The phenomenon of Faraday rotation of linearly polarized synchrotron emission in a magneto-ionized medium has been understood and studied for decades. But since the sense of the ro…
Helicity in the Large-Scale Galactic Magnetic Field
J. L. West, R. N. Henriksen, K. Ferrière +4
We search for observational signatures of magnetic helicity in data from all-sky radio polarization surveys of the Milky Way Galaxy. Such a detection would help confirm the dynamo…
A more detailed look at Galactic magnetic field models: using free-free absorption in HII regions
I. M. Polderman, M. Haverkorn, T. R. Jaffe
The observed interaction product of Cosmic Rays (CRs) and Galactic magnetic fields (GMF) is the Galactic synchrotron emission integrated over the line-of-sight (LOS). The GMF stren…
Practical Modeling of Large-Scale Galactic Magnetic Fields: Status and Prospects
Tess R. Jaffe
This is a review of the status of efforts to model the large-scale Galactic magnetic field (GMF). Though important for a variety of astrophysical processes, the GMF remains poorly…
IMAGINE: modeling the Galactic magnetic field
Marijke Haverkorn, François Boulanger, Torsten Enßlin +5
The IMAGINE Consortium aims to bring modeling of the magnetic field of the Milky Way to a next level, by using Bayesian inference. IMAGINE includes an open-source modular software…
Low frequency measurements of synchrotron absorbing HII regions and modeling of observed synchrotron emissivity
I. M. Polderman, M. Haverkorn, T. R. Jaffe +1
Cosmic rays (CRs) and magnetic fields are dynamically important components in the Galaxy, and their energy densities are comparable to that of the turbulent interstellar gas. The i…
