Magnetic fields in the absence of spiral density waves – NGC 4414
We present three-frequency VLA observations of the flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 4414 made in order to study the magnetic field structure in absence of strong density wave flows. NGC 4414 shows a regular spiral pattern of observed polarization B-vectors with a radial component comparable in strength to the azimuthal one. The average pitch angle of the magnetic field is about 20 • , similar to ga...
متن کاملThe anatomy of an isolated spiral galaxy : NGC 4414
Ouron-goingobservations of the interstellarmedium of NGC 4414 have resulted in CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) detections to very close to the optical edge of the disk. The 13CO lines and thermal dust continuum emission have been detected almost as far out. The variation in the beam-independent CO(2−1 1−0 ) line intensity ratio is interpreted in terms of a variation in the CO excitation temperature. Combin...
متن کاملUnusual magnetic fields in the interacting spiral NGC 3627
By observing the interacting galaxy NGC 3627 in radio polarization we try to answer the question to which degree the magnetic field follows the galactic gas flows. We obtained total power and polarized intensity maps at 8.46 GHz and 4.85 GHz using the VLA in its compact D-configuration. In order to overcome the zero-spacing problems, the interferometric data were combined with single-dish measu...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in the spiral galaxy NGC 2997
We made multi-band radio observations of NGC 2997, including total power mapping at λ20 with the Very Large Array (VLA), sensitive polarization observations at λ13 cm with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and images at λ6 and λ3 cm with the VLA. The detected regular magnetic field extends from the centre to the outer disk. In the central part (galactic radius R ≤ 0.5′), the dominate...
متن کاملMagnetic fields and strong density waves in the interacting galaxy NGC 3627
We present 10.55 GHz observations of the strong-density-wave spiral NGC 3627. Total power and polarization maps with a resolution of 1.13, sensitive to a weak extended emission were obtained. In the analysis we used also available data in the CO and Hα lines. The total power brightness distribution shows two equally bright sources close to the bar ends, coincident with similar peaks in CO and H...
