Magnetic Field of a Ring-like Molecular Cloud

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We 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 ...

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 ...

INTERSTELLAR MAGNETIC FIELD SURROUNDING THE HELIOPAUSE

open access: yesThe 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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Assessing Zeeman Measurements of Magnetic Fields in Synthetic H I Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Zeeman observations provide the only direct probe of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. To evaluate their accuracy and limitations, we generate synthetic H I Zeeman spectra from magnetohydrodynamic simulations and idealized ...

A New Constraint on the Relative Disorder of Magnetic Fields between Neutral Interstellar Medium Phases

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Utilizing Planck polarized dust emission maps at 353 GHz and large-area maps of the neutral hydrogen (H i ) cold neutral medium (CNM) fraction ( f _CNM ), we investigate the relationship between dust polarization fraction ( p _353 ) and f _CNM in the ...
