Enhanced small-scale Faraday rotation in the Galactic spiral arms
We present an analysis of the rotation measures (RMs) of polarized extragalactic point sources in the Southern Galactic Plane Survey. This work demonstrates that the statistics of fluctuations in RM differ for the spiral arms and the interarm regions. Structure functions of RM are flat in the spiral arms, while they increase in the interarms. This indicates that there are no correlated RM fluct...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the Galactic magneto-ionized ISM from Faraday rotation
Faraday rotation measurements of polarized extragalactic sources probe the Galactic magnetized, ionized interstellar medium. Rotation measures of these sources behind the inner Galactic plane are used to explore characteristics of the structure in the spiral arms and in interarm regions. Structure in the spiral arms has a characteristic outer scale of a few parsecs only, whereas interarm region...
متن کاملA Faraday Rotation Template for the Galactic Sky
Using a set of compilations of measurements for extragalactic radio sources we construct all-sky maps of the Faraday Rotation produced by the Galactic magnetic field. In order to generate the maps we treat the radio source positions as a kind of ”mask” and construct combinations of spherical harmonic modes that are orthogonal on the masked sky. As long as relatively small multipoles are used th...
متن کاملFaraday 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 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...
