Cosmic Magnetism Science with the SKA
Tessa Vernstrom, Jennifer L. West, Cathy Horellou
Magnetic fields are a fundamental component of astrophysical systems, yet many key questions about their origin, amplification, and role in structure formation and evolution remain…
Faraday Tomography with the SKA: A New Era of Cosmic Magnetism Studies
Miguel Carcamo, Anna M. M. Scaife, Jeroen Stil +3
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) represents a significant advancement in radio astronomy, enabling detailed study of cosmic magnetism through Faraday Rotation and Faraday Measureme…
The radial component of the local Galactic magnetic field in 3D
Lewis McCallum, Philipp Frank, Sebastian Hutschenreuter +9
We present a distance-resolved reconstruction of the local line-of-sight Galactic magnetic field, , by combining a 3D electron density () map derived from dust map-i…
The Salamander: A case study of the magnetic field and peculiar morphology of G309.8-2.6 through radio polarimetry
Wenhui Jing, Jennifer L. West, Xiaohui Sun +17
Studying the interaction between core-collapse supernova remnants (SNRs) and their surrounding environments is essential to understanding the mechanism for energy transfer to the i…
Interpolation techniques for reconstructing Galactic Faraday rotation
Affan Khadir, Ayush Pandhi, Sebastian Hutschenreuter +4
The line-of-sight structure of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) can be studied using Faraday rotation measure (RM) grids. We analyze how the choice of interpolation kernel can aff…
A method for reconstructing the Galactic magnetic field using dispersion of fast radio bursts and Faraday rotation of radio galaxies
Ayush Pandhi, Sebastian Hutschenreuter, Jennifer West +2
With the rapid increase of fast radio burst (FRB) detections within the past few years, there is now a catalogue being developed for all-sky extragalactic dispersion measure (DM) o…
Helicity in the Large-Scale Galactic Magnetic Field
J. L. West, R. N. Henriksen, K. Ferrière +4
We search for observational signatures of magnetic helicity in data from all-sky radio polarization surveys of the Milky Way Galaxy. Such a detection would help confirm the dynamo…
Cosmic Magnetism
Jennifer West, Jo-Anne Brown, Bryan Gaensler +9
Magnetic fields are involved in every astrophysical process on every scale: from planetary and stellar interiors to neutron stars, stellar wind bubbles and supernova remnants; from…
When disorder looks like order: a new model to explain radial magnetic fields in young supernova remnants
J. L. West, T. Jaffe, G. Ferrand +2
Radial magnetic fields are observed in all known young, shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) in our Galaxy, including Cas A, Tycho, Kepler, and SN1006 and yet the nature of these r…
Cygnus Loop: A double bubble?
J. West, S. Safi-Harb, I. Reichardt +4
The Cygnus Loop is a well-studied supernova remnant (SNR) that has been observed across the electromagnetic spectrum. Although widely believed to be an SNR shell with a blow- out r…
The connection between supernova remnants and the Galactic magnetic field: An analysis of quasi-parallel and quasi-perpendicular cosmic ray acceleration for the axisymmetric sample
J. L. West, S. Safi-Harb, G. Ferrand
The mechanism for acceleration of cosmic rays in supernova remnants (SNRs) is an outstanding question in the field. We model a sample of 32 axisymmetric SNRs using the quasi-perpen…
The Connection between Supernova Remnants and the Galactic Magnetic Field: A Global Radio Study of the Axisymmetric Sample
J. L. West, S. Safi-Harb, T. Jaffe +3
The study of supernova remnants (SNRs) is fundamental to understanding the chemical enrichment and magnetism in galaxies, including our own Milky Way. In an effort to understand th…
