A Tale of Three: Magnetic Fields along the Orion Integral-shaped Filament as Revealed by the JCMT BISTRO Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
As part of the B -fields In Star-forming Region Observations survey, we present James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) 850 μ m polarimetric observations toward the Orion integral-shaped filament (ISF) that covers three portions known as OMC-1, OMC-2, and ...

Determining the rotation direction in pulsars

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Interstellar magnetic fields determined from pulsar polarimetry in the GHz-band may be biased by mechanical-optical rotation in pulsars’ magnetospheres. Here the authors show how observations at sub-GHz frequencies can be used to resolve such a bias and ...

B-fields and Dust in Interstellar Filaments Using Dust Polarization (BALLAD-POL). III. Grain Alignment and Disruption Mechanisms in G34.43+0.24 Using Polarization Observations from JCMT/POL-2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Polarization of starlight and thermal dust emission due to aligned non-spherical grains helps us to trace magnetic field ( B -field) morphology in molecular clouds and to study grain alignment mechanisms.

Interstellar turbulence, random density variations, and scintillation measurements [PDF]

open access: yes
The presence of random electron variations suggests that the ionized interstellar medium is turbulent. In the interstellar plasma the presence of power spectra of such variations extending to spatial scales much less than a Coulomb mean free path, Lambda

Magnetic Fields in the Interstellar Medium

open access: yes, 2017
The interstellar medium – the space between the stars in our Galaxy – is multiphase, turbulent, and magnetic. Magnetism in the interstellar medium is difficult to observe and to simulate, and the study of interstellar magnetic fields is riddled with open questions. In this Thesis we make progress in several important areas.

B-fields and Dust in Interstellar Filaments Using Dust Polarization (BALLAD-POL). VI. Grain Alignment Mechanisms in the Massive Quiescent Filament G16.96+0.27 Using Dust Polarization Observations from JCMT/POL-2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Dust polarization induced by aligned nonspherical grains acts as an important tool to trace the magnetic field ( B -field) morphologies and strengths in molecular clouds and constrain grain properties and their alignment mechanisms.

B-fields and Dust in Interstellar Filaments Using Dust Polarization (BALLAD-POL). IV. Grain Alignment Mechanisms in the Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146) Using Polarization Observations from JCMT/POL-2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The polarization of starlight and thermal dust emission from aligned nonspherical grains provides a powerful tool for tracing magnetic field morphologies and strengths in the diffuse interstellar medium to star-forming regions, and constraining the ...

Magnetically Aligned Striations in the L914 Filamentary Cloud

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present CO( J = 1–0) multiline observations toward the L914 dark cloud in the vicinity of the Cygnus X region, using the 13.7 m millimeter telescope of the Purple Mountain Observatory.

Infrared polarimetry and the interstellar magnetic field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1989
Une bonne correlation entre la polarisation interstellaire et l'extinction interstellaire est trouvee a 2,2 μm pour toutes les lignes de visee. Un modele de champ magnetique interstellaire est presente, et montre qu'une contribution egale de la composante uniforme et de la composante aleatoire reproduit bien les ...

What Rogue Hydrogen Clouds Tell Us about Galactic Magnetic Fields

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observations of the Milky Way and external galaxies support the idea that large-scale magnetic fields are concentrated in galactic disks, with halo magnetic fields at least an order of magnitude weaker.
