Probing magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium using polarization data from MIGHTEE
K. Böckmann, M. Brüggen, V. Heesen +10
The detection and study of magnetic fields surrounding galaxies is important to understand galaxy evolution since magnetic fields are tracers for dynamical processes in the circumg…
Detection of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium of nearby galaxies using Faraday rotation
V. Heesen, S. P. O'Sullivan, M. Brüggen +15
Context. The existence of magnetic fields in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is largely unconstrained. Their detection is important as magnetic fields can have a significant impact…
A low frequency sub-arcsecond view of powerful radio galaxies in rich-cluster environments: 3C 34 and 3C 320
V. H. Mahatma, A. Basu, M. J. Hardcastle +2
Models of radio galaxy physics have been primarily based on high frequency (1 GHz) observations of their jets, hotspots, and lobes. Without highly resolved low frequency…
CHANG-ES XV: Large-scale magnetic field reversals in the radio halo of NGC 4631
Silvia Carolina Mora-Partiarroyo, Marita Krause, Aritra Basu +13
NGC 4631 is an interacting galaxy which exhibits one of the largest gaseous halos observed among edge-on galaxies. We aim to examine the synchrotron and polarization properties of…
JVLA Wideband Polarimetry Observations on a Sample of High Rotation Measure Sources
Alice Pasetto, Carlos Carrasco-González, Gabriele Bruni +4
We present preliminary results of JVLA wideband full polarization observations of a sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with very high Rotation Measure (RM) values, a sign of ex…
Detection of a ~20 kpc coherent magnetic field in the outskirt of merging spirals: the Antennae galaxies
Aritra Basu, S. A. Mao, Amanda A. Kepley +3
We present a study of the magnetic field properties of NGC 4038/9 (the `Antennae' galaxies), the closest example of a late stage merger of two spiral galaxies. Wideband polarimetri…
