Faraday Rotation Effect of Intracluster Magnetic Field on Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization
The observed magnetic field of microgauss strength in clusters of galaxies should induce the Faraday rotation effect on the linearly polarized cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation when the CMB radiation propagates through a cluster at low redshift. The Faraday rotation arises from combined contributions of the magnetic field strength, the electron density, the cluster size, and the chara...
متن کاملMeasurement of internal magnetic field fluctuations in a reversed-field pinch by Faraday rotation.
Magnetic field fluctuations (and the associated current perturbation) have been measured in the core of a high-temperature reversed-field pinch using a newly developed fast-polarimetry system. Radial magnetic field fluctuation levels of approximately 1% are measured in standard-reversed-field pinch discharges which increase to approximately 4% during the sawtooth crash (enhanced dynamo). The fl...
متن کاملMechanisms for magnetic field reversals.
We present a review of the different models that have been proposed to explain reversals of the magnetic field generated by a turbulent flow of an electrically conducting fluid (fluid dynamos). We then describe a simple mechanism that explains several features observed in palaeomagnetic records of the Earth's magnetic field, in numerical simulations and in a recent dynamo experiment. A similar ...
متن کاملFaraday Rotation of Microwave Background Polarization by a Primordial Magnetic Field
The existence of a primordial magnetic field at the last scattering surface may induce a measurable Faraday rotation in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. We calculate the magnitude of this effect by evolving the radiative transfer equations for the microwave background polarization through the epoch of last scatter, in the presence of a magnetic field. For a primordial field ...
متن کاملDetermining the Magnetic Field Orientation of Coronal Mass Ejections from Faraday Rotation
We describe a method with which to measure the magnetic field orientation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) using Faraday rotation (FR). Two basic FR profiles, Gaussian-shaped with a single polarity or N-shaped with polarity reversals, are produced by a radio source occulted by a moving flux rope, depending on its orientation. These curves are consistent with Helios observations, providing evide...
