A rotation measure image of the sky

AR Taylor, JM Stil, C Sunstrum - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We have re-analyzed the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) data to derive rotation measures
(RMs) toward 37,543 polarized radio sources. The resulting catalog of RM values covers the …

[PDF][PDF] Magnetic fields in the Milky Way and in galaxies

R Beck, R Wielebinski - Planets, stars and stellar systems, 2013 - scholar.archive.org
Most of the visible matter in the Universe is ionized, so that cosmic magnetic fields are quite
easy to generate and due to the lack of magnetic monopoles hard to destroy. Magnetic fields …
