Modelling Faraday Screens in the Interstellar Medium
Maps of Galactic polarized continuum emission at 1408, 1660, and 1713 MHz towards the local Taurus molecular cloud complex were made with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. Minima in the polarized emission which are located at the boundary of a molecular cloud were detected. Beside high rotation measures and unusual spectral indices of the polarized intensity, these features are associated with th...
متن کاملFaraday rotation in a disordered medium
The Faraday rotation angle is calculated in a diffusive regime on a three-dimensional disordered slab. It is shown that tan is (i) an oscillating function of the magnetic field or the medium’s internal properties, and (ii) proportional to the ratio of the inelastic mean-free path lin to the mean-free path l, that is, to the average number of photon scatterings. The maximum rotation is achieved ...
متن کاملInterpretation of the Structure Function of Rotation Measure in the Interstellar Medium
The observed structure function (SF) of rotation measure (RM) varies as a broken power-law function of angular scales. The systematic shallowness of its spectral slope is inconsistent with the standard Kolmogorov scaling. This motivates us to examine the statistical analysis on RM fluctuations. The correlations of RM constructed by Lazarian & Pogosyan are demonstrated to be adequate in explaini...
متن کاملPhysical structure of the local interstellar medium
The physical structure and morphology of the interstellar medium that surrounds our solar system directly effects the heliosphere and the interplanetary environment. High resolution ultraviolet absorption spectra of nearby stars and the intervening interstellar medium, observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, provide important information about the chemical abundance, ionization, temperature, ki...
متن کاملStructure Function Studies for Turbulent Interstellar Medium
We study structure functions of rotation measures in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) region and the North Galactic Pole (NGP) to extract the interstellar medium (ISM) fluctuation information. The CGPS data are divided into three longitude intervals: 82 < l < 96 (CGPS1), 115 < l < 130 (CGPS2) and 130 < l < 146 (CGPS3). The structure functions of all three regions have large uncertainti...
