FIELDMAPS Data Release: Far-Infrared Polarization in the "Bones" of the Milky Way
Simon Coudé, Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers +13
Polarization observations of the Milky Way and many other spiral galaxies have found a close correspondence between the orientation of spiral arms and magnetic field lines on scale…
Magnetic Fields in the Bones of the Milky Way
Ian W. Stephens, Simon Coude, Philip C. Myers +20
Stars primarily form in galactic spiral arms within dense, filamentary molecular clouds. The largest and most elongated of these molecular clouds are referred to as ``bones," which…
SOFIA Polarization Spectrum of Three Star-Forming Clouds
Erin G. Cox, Giles Novak, David T. Chuss +6
The dust emission polarization spectrum -- how the polarization percentage changes with wavelength -- serves as a probe of dust grain properties in star-forming regions. In this pa…
The Magnetic Keys to Massive Star Formation: The Western Carinae Giant Molecular Cloud
Peter J. Barnes, Stuart D. Ryder, Giles Novak +1
We present SOFIA/HAWC+ continuum polarisation data on the magnetic fields threading 17 pc-scale massive molecular clumps at the western end of the Car GMC (Region 9 of CHaMP,…
Magnetic Field Alignment Relative to Multiple Tracers in the High-mass Star-forming Region RCW 36
Akanksha Bij, Laura M. Fissel, Lars Bonne +9
We use polarization data from SOFIA HAWC+ to investigate the interplay between magnetic fields and stellar feedback in altering gas dynamics within the high-mass star-forming regio…
Modeling the Far-Infrared Polarization Spectrum of a High-Mass Star Forming Cloud
Dennis Lee, Che-Yu Chen, Giles Novak +7
The polarization spectrum, or wavelength dependence of the polarization fraction, of interstellar dust emission provides important insights into the grain alignment mechanism of in…
