Magnetic fields of our Galaxy on large and small scales
Magnetic fields have been observed on all scales in our Galaxy, from AU to kpc. With pulsar dispersion measures and rotation measures, we can directly measure the magnetic fields in a very large region of the Galactic disk. The results show that the large-scale magnetic fields are aligned with the spiral arms but reverse their directions many times from the inner-most arm (Norma) to the outer a...
متن کاملObserving Magnetic Fields on Large Scales
Observations of magnetic fields on scales up to several Mpc are important for understanding cluster and largescale structure evolution. Our current census of such structures is heavily biased – towards fields of several μG, towards fields in deep potential wells, and towards high inferred field strengths in cooling flow and other clusters from improper analysis of rotation measure data. After r...
متن کاملThe Spatial Energy Spectrum of Magnetic Fields in Our Galaxy
Interstellar magnetic fields exist over a broad range of spatial scales, extending from the large Galactic scales (∼ 10 kpc) down to the very small dissipative scales (≪ 1 pc). In this paper, we use a set of 490 pulsars distributed over roughly one third of the Galactic disk out to a radius R ≃ 10 kpc (assuming R⊙ = 8.5 kpc) and combine their observed rotation and dispersion measures with their...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields in Galaxy Clusters
Magnetic fields in galaxy clusters can be investigated using a variety of techniques. Recent studies including radio halos, Inverse Compton hard X-ray emissions and Faraday rotation measure, are briefly outlined. A numerical approach for investigating cluster magnetic fields strength and structure is presented. It consists of producing simulated rotation measure, radio halo images, and radio ha...
