Linearly polarized emission from dust grains and molecular spectroscopy is an effective
probe of the magnetic field topology in the interstellar medium and molecular clouds. The …

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 …

The mean plane-of-sky magnetic field strength is traditionally obtained from the combination
of polarization and spectroscopic data using the Davis–Chandrasekhar–Fermi (DCF) …

Abstract The Davis–Chandrasekhar–Fermi (DCF) method provides an indirect way to
estimate the magnetic field strength from statistics of magnetic field orientations. We compile …

Optical and infrared polarization mapping and recent Planck observations of the filametary
cloud L1495 in Taurus show that the large-scale magnetic field is approximately …

To investigate the role of magnetic fields in the evolution of the interstellar medium,
formation and evolution of molecular clouds, and ultimately the formation of stars, their three …

The alignment of striated intensity structures in thin neutral hydrogen (H i) spectroscopic
channels with Galactic magnetic fields has been observed. However, the origin and nature …

In a companion paper, we reported the self-consistent formation of quasar accretion disks
with inflow rates $\sim 10\,{\rm M_ {\odot}\, yr^{-1}} $ down to< 300 Schwarzschild radii from …

Despite the rich observational results on interstellar magnetic fields in star-forming regions, it
is still unclear how dynamically significant the magnetic fields are at varying physical scales …

We present the first Bayesian method for tomographic decomposition of the plane-of-sky
orientation of the magnetic field with the use of stellar polarimetry and distance. This …
