Mapping the Interstellar Magnetic Field Around the Heliosphere with Polarized Starlight

P. C. Frisch, A. B. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +20

Starlight that becomes linearly polarized by magnetically aligned dust grains provides a viable diagnostic of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF). A survey is underway to map th…

Charting the Interstellar Magnetic Field causing the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) Ribbon of Energetic Neutral Atoms

P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +10

The interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the heliosphere is a basic part of the solar neighborhood that can only be studied using polarized starlight. Results of an ongoing surv…

Evidence for an interstellar dust filament in the outer heliosheath

P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +8

A recently discovered filament of polarized starlight that traces a coherent magnetic field is shown to have several properties that are consistent with an origin in the outer heli…

Connecting the interstellar magnetic field at the heliosphere to the Loop I superbubble

P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, H. O. Funsten +6

The local interstellar magnetic field affects both the heliosphere and the surrounding cluster of interstellar clouds (CLIC). Measurements of linearly polarized starlight provide t…

The Interstellar Magnetic Field Close to the Sun II

P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +9

A key indicator of the galactic environment of the Sun is provided by the magnetic field in the interstellar medium (ISM), which influences the shape of the heliosphere. The direct…

SOUTH POL: Revealing the Polarized Southern Sky

A. M. Magalhaes, C. M. de Oliveira, A. Carciofi +13

SOUTH POL will be a survey of the Southern sky in optical polarized light. It will use a newly designed polarimetric module at an 80cm Robotic Telescope. Telescope and polarimeter…
