Structure in the Magnetic Field of the Milky Way Disk and Halo traced by Faraday Rotation
John M. Dickey, Jennifer West, Alec J. M. Thomson +14
Magnetic fields in the ionized medium of the disk and halo of the Milky Way impose Faraday rotation on linearly polarized radio emission. We compare two surveys mapping the Galacti…
Orion A's complete 3D magnetic field morphology
M. Tahani, J. Glover, W. Lupypciw +11
Magnetic fields permeate the interstellar medium and are important in the star formation process. Determining the 3D magnetic fields of molecular clouds will allow us to better und…
The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey -- V. Second data release

In this data release from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) we present 120-168MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at ap…
3D magnetic field morphology of the Perseus molecular cloud
M. Tahani, W. Lupypciw, J. Glover +11
Despite recent observational and theoretical advances in mapping the magnetic fields associated with molecular clouds, their three-dimensional (3D) morphology remains unresolved. M…
A Unified Model for the Fan Region and the North Polar Spur: A bundle of filaments in the Local Galaxy
J. L. West, T. L. Landecker, B. M. Gaensler +2
We present a simple, unified model that can explain two of the brightest, large-scale, diffuse, polarized radio features in the sky, the North Polar Spur (NPS) and the Fan Region,…
The Global Magneto-Ionic Medium Survey: A Faraday Depth Survey of the Northern Sky Covering 1280-1750 MHz
M. Wolleben, T. L. Landecker, K. A. Douglas +17
The Galactic interstellar medium hosts a significant magnetic field, which can be probed through the synchrotron emission produced from its interaction with relativistic electrons.…
