Tomography of the Galactic free electron density with the Square Kilometer Array
Maksim Greiner, Dominic H. F. M. Schnitzeler, Torsten A. Ensslin
We present a new algorithm to reconstruct the Galactic free electron density from pulsar dispersion measures. The algorithm performs a nonparametric tomography for a density field…
Using SKA Rotation Measures to Reveal the Mysteries of the Magnetised Universe
Melanie Johnston-Hollitt, Federica Govoni, Rainer Beck +21
We know that magnetic fields are pervasive across all scales in the Universe and over all of cosmic time and yet our understanding of many of the properties of magnetic fields is s…
Polarization signatures of unresolved radio sources
D. H. F. M. Schnitzeler, J. K. Banfield, K. J. Lee
We investigate how the imprint of Faraday rotation on radio spectra can be used to determine the geometry of radio sources and the strength and structure of the surrounding magneti…
A radio-polarisation and rotation measure study of the Gum Nebula and its environment
C. R. Purcell, B. M. Gaensler, X. H. Sun +7
The Gum Nebula is 36 degree wide shell-like emission nebula at a distance of only 450 pc. It has been hypothesised to be an old supernova remnant, fossil HII region, wind-blown bub…
Broadband Polarimetry with the Square Kilometre Array: A Unique Astrophysical Probe
B. M. Gaensler, Iván Agudo, Takuya Akahori +15
Faraday rotation of polarised background sources is a unique probe of astrophysical magnetic fields in a diverse range of foreground objects. However, to understand the properties…
Measuring magnetism in the Milky Way with the Square Kilometre Array
Marijke Haverkorn, Takuya Akahori, Ettore Carretti +17
Magnetic fields in the Milky Way are present on a wide variety of sizes and strengths, influencing many processes in the Galactic ecosystem such as star formation, gas dynamics, je…
