Characterising the Magnetic Fields of Nearby Molecular Clouds using Submillimeter Polarization Observations
Colin H. Sullivan, Laura Fissel, Patrick King +3
Of all the factors that influence star formation, magnetic fields are perhaps the least well understood. The goal of this paper is to characterize the 3D magnetic field properties…
Effects of Grain Alignment Efficiency on Synthetic Dust Polarization Observations of Molecular Clouds
Patrick K. King, Che-Yu Chen, Laura M. Fissel +1
It is well known that the polarized continuum emission from magnetically aligned dust grains is determined to a large extent by local magnetic field structure. However, the observe…
A New Method to Trace Three-dimensional Magnetic Field Structure within Molecular Clouds Using Dust Polarization
Che-Yu Chen, Patrick K. King, Zhi-Yun Li +2
The complete three-dimensional structure of the magnetic field within molecular clouds has eluded determination despite its high value in determining controlling factors in the sta…
Relative Alignment Between the Magnetic Field and Molecular Gas Structure in the Vela C Giant Molecular Cloud using Low and High Density Tracers
Laura M. Fissel, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +37
We compare the magnetic field orientation for the young giant molecular cloud Vela C inferred from 500-m polarization maps made with the BLASTPol balloon-borne polarimeter to th…
Modeling Dust Polarization Observations of Molecular Clouds through MHD Simulations
Patrick K. King, Laura M. Fissel, Che-Yu Chen +1
The BLASTPol observations of Vela C have provided the most detailed characterization of the polarization fraction and dispersion in polarization angles for a molecular clou…
Fantastic Striations and Where to Find Them: Origin of Magnetically Aligned Striations in Interstellar Clouds
Che-Yu Chen, Zhi-Yun Li, Patrick K. King +1
Thin, magnetically aligned striations of relatively moderate contrast with the background are commonly observed in both atomic and molecular clouds. They are also prominent in MHD…
