Warped diffusive radio halo around the quiescent spiral edge-on galaxy NGC 4565
V. Heesen, L. Whitler, P. Schmidt +12
Cosmic rays play a pivotal role in launching galactic winds, particularly in quiescently star-forming galaxies where the hot gas alone is not sufficient to drive a wind. Except for…
CHANG-ES XX. High Resolution Radio Continuum Images of Edge-on Galaxies and their AGNs -- Data Release 3
Judith Irwin, Theresa Wiegert, Alison Merritt +17
The CHANG-ES galaxy sample consists of 35 nearby edge-on galaxies that have been observed using the VLA at 1.6 GHz and 6.0 GHz. Here we present the 3rd data release of our sample,…
Investigation of the cosmic ray population and magnetic field strength in the halo of NGC 891
D. D. Mulcahy, A. Horneffer, R. Beck +24
Low-frequency radio continuum observations of edge-on galaxies are ideal to study cosmic-ray electrons (CREs) in halos via radio synchrotron emission and to measure magnetic field…
CHANG-ES XI: Circular Polarization in the Cores of Nearby Galaxies
Judith A Irwin, Richard N. Henriksen, Marek Wezgowiec +18
We detect 5 galaxies in the CHANG-ES (Continuum Halos in Nearby Galaxies -- an EVLA Survey) sample that show circular polarization (CP) at L-band in our high resolution data sets.…
Synchrotron spectral index and interstellar medium densities of star-forming galaxies
Aritra Basu, Rainer Beck, Philip Schmidt +1
The spectral index of synchrotron emission is an important parameter in understanding the properties of cosmic ray electrons (CREs) and the interstellar medium (ISM). We determine…
