This article gives an overview of the constitution, physical conditions, and observables of
dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial …

Radio synchrotron emission, its polarization and Faraday rotation of the polarization angle
are powerful tools to study the strength and structure of magnetic fields in galaxies …

In this chapter we review recent advances in understanding the roles that magnetic fields
play throughout the star formation process, gained through observations and simulations of …

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 …

Observing the magnetic fields of low-mass interacting galaxies tells us how they have
evolved over cosmic time and their importance in galaxy evolution. We have measured the …

Context. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the closest low-metallicity galaxy to the Milky
Way where the dynamical state of molecular clouds can be analyzed. Aims. Our aim is to …

High-spatial-resolution H i observations have led to the realization that the nearby (within
few hundreds of parsecs) Galactic atomic filamentary structures are aligned with the ambient …

We present an investigation into the magnetism of the Magellanic Bridge, carried out
through the observation of Faraday rotation towards 167 polarized extragalactic radio …

Optical imaging polarimetry was conducted on the hydrogen poor superluminous supernova
2020znr during three phases after maximum light (≈+ 34 d,+ 288 d, and+ 289 d). After …

Complex A is a high-velocity cloud (HVC) that is traversing through the Galactic halo toward
the Milky Way's disk. We combine both new and archival Green Bank Telescope …
