HAWC+ Far-Infrared Observations of the Magnetic Field Geometry in M51 and NGC 891
Terry Jay Jones, Jin-Ah Kim, C. Darren Dowell +29
SOFIA HAWC+ polarimetry at $154~\micron$ is reported for the face-on galaxy M51 and the edge-on galaxy NGC 891. For M51, the polarization vectors generally follow the spiral patter…
A dynamo amplifies the magnetic field of a Milky-Way-like galaxy
Evangelia Ntormousi, Konstantinos Tassis, Fabio Del Sordo +2
The magnetic fields of spiral galaxies are so strong that they cannot be primordial. Their typical values are over one billion times higher than any value predicted for the early U…
SOFIA/HAWC+ traces the magnetic fields in NGC 1068
E. Lopez-Rodriguez, C. D. Dowell, T. J. Jones +21
We report the first detection of galactic spiral structure by means of thermal emission from magnetically aligned dust grains. Our 89 m polarimetric imaging of NGC 1068 with the…
The far-infrared polarization spectrum of Rho Ophiuchi A from HAWC+/SOFIA observations
Fabio P. Santos, David T. Chuss, C. Darren Dowell +23
We report on polarimetric maps made with HAWC+/SOFIA toward Rho Oph A, the densest portion of the Rho Ophiuchi molecular complex. We employed HAWC+ bands C (89 m) and D (154 …
Extreme Starlight Polarization in a Region with Highly Polarized Dust Emission
G. V. Panopoulou, B. S. Hensley, R. Skalidis +2
Galactic dust emission is polarized at unexpectedly high levels, as revealed by Planck. The origin of the observed polarization fractions can be identified by charact…
RoboPol: A four-channel optical imaging polarimeter
A. N. Ramaprakash, C. V. Rajarshi, H. K. Das +30
We present the design and performance of RoboPol, a four-channel optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. RoboPol is capable of measuring both re…
