Galactic polarization surveys
1 Abstract Following the detection of polarized diffuse Galactic emission in 1962 a number of surveys were undertaken at low frequencies in the following years resulting in important insights on the local magnetic field, polarization of the giant radio loops and other Galactic structures, as well as on the properties of the diffuse magnetized interstellar medium. This field of research experien...
متن کاملGalactic Structure From Infrared Surveys
By combining the 2MASS and DENIS infrared surveys with the USNO-B proper-motion catalog, it will be possible to map the structure of the Galaxy in unprecedented detail. The key parameter that these surveys measure together, but neither measures separately, is t∗ = r∗/v⊥, the time it takes a star moving at transverse speed v⊥ to cross its own radius r∗. This parameter cleanly separates white dwa...
متن کاملGalactic structure from photometric surveys
Seventeen of twenty known or suspected dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way were discovered through photometric images. Six significant tidal streams are known in the Galactic spheroid, all of which were discovered through photometric surveys. At present, only photometric surveys provide enough sky coverage and depth to probe the shape of the Milky Way. We argue that the Virgo Stellar Strea...
متن کاملGalactic Arm Structure and Gamma Ray Astronomy
In an attempt to explain the observed unexpectedly high energy gamma radiation over a broad region of the galactic plane in the general direction of the galactic center, a model is proposed wherein the galactic cosmic rays are preferentially located in the high matter density regions of galactic arm segments, as a result of the weight of the matter in these arms tieing the magnetic fields and h...
متن کاملOngoing Large Surveys for Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Halo
We report on two major surveys for metal-poor stars in the galactic halo, the HK survey, and the Hamburg/ESO survey, which have been undertaken in order to provide targets for high-resolution spectroscopy with the Subaru HDS and other large telescopes. We compare basic properties of these two surveys and their current status, and add some historical remarks. The candidate selection procedures o...
