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…
RMTable2023 and PolSpectra2023: standards for reporting polarization and Faraday rotation measurements of radio sources
C. L. Van Eck, B. M. Gaensler, S. Hutschenreuter +11
Faraday rotation measures (RMs) have been used for many studies of cosmic magnetism, and in most cases having more RMs is beneficial for those studies. This has lead to development…
Weakly interacting massive particle cross section limits from LOFAR observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies
L. Gajović, F. Welzmüller, V. Heesen +8
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) can self-annihilate, thus providing us with a way to indirectly detect dark matter (DM). Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are excellent…
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…
