The structure of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies: a radio and far-infrared polarimetric analysis
William Jeffrey Surgent, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Susan E. Clark
We propose and apply a method to quantify the morphology of the large-scale ordered magnetic fields (B-fields) in galaxies. This method is adapted from the analysis of Event Horizo…
