Magnetic structure of our Galaxy: A review of observations
, 2009 The magnetic structure in the Galactic disk, the Galactic center and the Galactic halo can be delineated more clearly than ever before. In the Galactic disk, the magnetic structure has been revealed by starlight polarization within 2 or 3 kpc of the ...

LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MAGNETIC FIELD DETERMINED FROM THE INTERSTELLAR BOUNDARY EXPLORER RIBBON
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016 ABSTRACT The solar wind emanating from the Sun interacts with the local interstellar medium (LISM), forming the heliosphere. Hydrogen energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) produced by the solar-interstellar interaction carry important information about plasma properties from the boundaries of the heliosphere, and are currently being measured by

The Huge Magnetic Toroids in the Milky Way Halo
The Astrophysical JournalThe magnetic fields in our Milky Way can be revealed by the distribution of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of radio sources behind the Galaxy and of radio pulsars inside the Galaxy. Based on the antisymmetry of the Faraday sky in the inner Galaxy to the

INTERSTELLAR MAGNETIC FIELD SURROUNDING THE HELIOPAUSE
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 This paper presents a three-dimensional analytical solution, in the limit of very low plasma β-ratio, for the distortion of the interstellar magnetic field surrounding the heliopause. The solution is obtained using a line dipole method that is the integration of point dipole along a semi-infinite line; it represents the magnetic field caused by the ...

Heliosphere in a strong interstellar magnetic field
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2017 We present results of MHD simulations of the global structure of the heliosphere for a wide range of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) strengths (2-20 µG). For a strong interstellar field, the plasma flow in and around the heliosphere as well as the magnetic field draped over the heliopause have a simple structure, reminiscent of (though not ...

Interstellar Magnetic Fields: An Observational Perspective
, 1989 Abstract: Chapter 1 establishes the plausibility of “magnetic molecular clouds.” We show that the empirically known relations between spectral line width, density, and cloud size can be derived from a virial equilibrium model where gravity is balanced by the sum of magnetic and pressure support.

A Catalog of Pulsar X-Ray Filaments
The Astrophysical JournalWe present the first Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) catalog of “pulsar X-ray filaments,” or “misaligned outflows.” These are linear, synchrotron-radiating features powered by ultrarelativistic electrons and positrons that escape from bow shock pulsars ...

The Astrophysical JournalThe recently discovered Eos molecular cloud is a CO-dark, low-density cloud located at a distance of approximately 94 pc from the Sun which does not appear to have formed stars at any point in its history.

Magnetic Field of a Ring-like Molecular Cloud
The Astronomical JournalWe present a detailed study of the magnetic field structure in the G111 molecular cloud, a ring-like filamentary cloud within the NGC 7538 region. Our analysis combines multiwavelength polarization data and molecular-line observations to investigate the ...
