Magnetic Misalignment of Interstellar Dust Filaments

Abstract We present evidence for scale-independent misalignment of interstellar dust filaments and magnetic fields. estimate the by comparing millimeter-wave dust-polarization measurements from Planck with filamentary structures identified in neutral-hydrogen (H i ) H 4PI. find that angle displays a scale independence (harmonic coherence) features larger than 4PI beamwidth (16.′2). additionally spatial coherence on angular scales  ( 1 ° stretchy="false">) . several estimators formed auto- cross-spectra -based maps, we also introduce map-space estimator.

By dividing sky into small regions, show correlates parity-violating TB cross-spectrum measured maps.
