The universality of the relation between magnetic fields and star formation in galaxies
Davide Belfiori, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez +1
The interstellar medium (ISM) is permeated by magnetic fields that affect gas dynamics and star formation. These fields correlate with supernova (SN)-driven turbulence, but whether…
ALMA discovery of Punctum -- a highly polarized mm source in nuclear starburst galaxy NGC 4945
E. Shablovinskaia, C. Ricci, C-S. Chang +9
We report the discovery of a highly polarized millimeter (mm) continuum source in the central region of NGC 4945, identified through ALMA Band 3 observations. This starburst Seyfer…
ALMA polarimetry of radio-quiet AGNs
E. Shablovinskaia, C. Ricci, R. Paladino +10
The compact mm emission ubiquitously found in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (RQ AGN) exhibits properties consistent with synchrotron radiation from a small region (1 lig…
The Dust Polarisation and Magnetic Field Structure in the Centre of NGC253 with ALMA
Davide Belfiori, Rosita Paladino, Annie Hughes +7
Magnetic fields have an impact on galaxy evolution at multiple scales. They are particularly important for starburst galaxies, where they play a crucial role in shaping the interst…
