High-accuracy estimation of magnetic field strength in the interstellar medium from dust polarization
Raphael Skalidis, Konstantinos Tassis
Dust polarization is a powerful tool for studying the magnetic field properties in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, it does not provide a direct measurement of its strength.…
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…
