Faraday Rotation Measure Synthesis
We extend the rotation measure work of Burn (1966) to the cases of limited sampling of λ2 space and non-constant emission spectra. We introduce the rotation measure transfer function (RMTF), which is an excellent predictor of nπ ambiguity problems with the λ coverage. Rotation measure synthesis can be implemented very efficiently on modern computers. Because the analysis is easily applied to wi...
متن کاملFaraday Rotation Measures through the Cores of Southern Galaxy Clusters
We present a study of the rotation measure (RM) obtained from a sample of extra-galactic radio sources either embedded in or seen in projection through a sample of seven southern galaxy clusters (δ ≤ 30◦). We compare our results with those obtained previously through similar statistical studies and conclude there is a statistically significant broadening of the RM signal in galaxy clusters when...
متن کاملFaraday Rotation Observations of Magnetic Fields in Galaxy Clusters
The presence of magnetic fields in the intracluster medium in clusters of galaxies has been revealed through several different observational techniques. These fields may be dynamically important in clusters as they will provide additional pressure support to the intracluster medium as well as inhibit transport mechanisms such as thermal conduction. Here, we review the current observational stat...
متن کاملA Bayesian view on Faraday rotation maps - Seeing the magnetic power spectra in galaxy clusters
We present a Bayesian maximum likelihood analysis of Faraday rotation measure (RM) maps of extended radio sources to determine magnetic field power spectra in clusters of galaxies. Using this approach, it is possible to determine the uncertainties in the measurements. We apply this approach to the RM map of Hydra A and derive the power spectrum of the cluster magnetic field. For Hydra A, we mea...
متن کاملFaraday rotation observations of CMEs
[1] Simultaneous observations obtained by the Solwind coronagraph and Faraday rotation of the Helios radio frequency carrier signal in 1979 showed that CMEs produce characteristic ‘W’ or sigmoid transients in Faraday rotation observations similar to those observed by Pioneer 6 and 9 in 1968 and 1970. We demonstrate that a relaxed flux-rope model is capable of reproducing these observations. Thr...
