High Resolution Polarimetry of the Inner Galaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present our results from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey, an effort to map the fourth quadrant of the Milky Way in linear polarization at a frequency of 1.4 GHz and at a resolution of 1–2 arcmin. These data are a powerful probe of both the turbulence and large-scale structure of magneto-ionic gas, and have revealed a variety of new features in the interstellar medium.

baryonic matter distribution in the large-scale structures is one of the main questions in cosmology. This distribution can provide valuable information regarding the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. On the other hand, the missing baryon problem is still under debate. One of the most important cosmological structures for studying the rate and the distribution of the baryons is gal...
متن کاملVLBA Polarimetry of Three Powerful Radio Galaxy Cores
We present sensitive, high dynamic range, Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) polarimetric observations of the cores of three powerful radio galaxies: 3C166, 3C236 and 3C390.3. Significant polarization is detected in one source (3C166) allowing us to map out the Faraday Rotation Measure (RM) distribution and projected magnetic field direction. The inner jet of 3C166 is found to have a rest frame RM...
متن کاملThe First Heroic Decade of Microlensing
We describe the fundamentals of vanilla and exotic microlens-ing. Deviations from the standard form of an achromatic, time-symmetric lightcurve can be caused by the parallax and xallarap effects, finite source sized effects and binarity. Three applications of microlensing from the First Heroic Decade are reviewed in detail – namely (i) searches for compact dark objects in the Galactic halo, (ii...
متن کاملDiffraction-limited bispectrum speckle interferometry and speckle polarimetry of the young bipolar outflow source S140 IRS1
We present bispectrum speckle interferometry and speckle polarimetry of the deeply embedded infrared bipolar outflow source S140 IRS1, a massive protostellar object in the L1204 molecular cloud. Using the SAO 6 m telescope, we obtained 280 mas resolution polarization maps of S140 IRS1 as well as a K-band image with diffraction-limited resolution λ/D of 76 mas, which is the highest angular resol...
متن کاملAbsolutely calibrated radio polarimetry of the inner Galaxy at 2.3 GHz and 4.8 GHz
We present high sensitivity and absolutely calibrated images of diffuse radio polarisation at a resolution of about 10 covering the range 10 < l < 34 and |b| < 5 at 2.3 GHz from the S-band Parkes All Sky Survey and at 4.8 GHz from the SinoGerman λ6 cm polarisation survey of the Galactic plane. Strong depolarisation near the Galactic plane is seen at 2.3 GHz, which correlates with strong Hα emis...
