A radio ridge connecting two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web

F. Govoni, E. Orrù, A. Bonafede +26

Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. They grow by accreting smaller structures in a merging process that produces shocks and turbu…

Statistical properties of Faraday rotation measure from large-scale magnetic fields in intervening disc galaxies

Aritra Basu, S. A. Mao, Andrew Fletcher +5

To constrain the large-scale magnetic field strengths in cosmologically distant galax- ies, we derive the probability distribution function of Faraday rotation measure (RM) when ra…

Statistical properties of Faraday rotation measure in external galaxies -- I: intervening disc galaxies

Aritra Basu, S. A. Mao, Andrew Fletcher +5

Deriving the Faraday rotation measure (RM) of quasar absorption line systems, which are tracers of high-redshift galaxies intervening background quasars, is a powerful tool for pro…

Studying Galactic interstellar turbulence through fluctuations in synchrotron emission: First LOFAR Galactic foreground detection

M. Iacobelli, M. Haverkorn, E. Orrú +85

The characteristic outer scale of turbulence and the ratio of the random to ordered components of the magnetic field are key parameters to characterise magnetic turbulence in the i…

An improved map of the Galactic Faraday sky

N. Oppermann, H. Junklewitz, G. Robbers +28

We aim to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding Galactic Faraday rotation in an all-sky map of the Galactic Faraday depth. For this we have assembled the most extensiv…

Faraday caustics: Singularities in the Faraday spectrum and their utility as probes of magnetic field properties

M. R. Bell, H. Junklewitz, T. A. Enßlin

We describe singularities in the distribution of polarized intensity as a function of Faraday depth (i.e. the Faraday spectrum) caused by line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field reversa…
