The large - scale Galactic magnetic field structure and pulsar rotation measures
Pulsars provide unique probes for the large-scale interstellar magnetic field in the Galactic disk. The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey has discovered many distant pulsars which enables us for the first time to explore the magnetic field in most of the nearby half of the Galactic disk. The fields are found to be coherent in direction over a linear scale of ∼ 10 kpc between the Carina-Sagittarius...
متن کاملPulsar Rotation Measures and the Large-scale Structure of Galactic Magnetic Field
The large-scale magnetic field of our Galaxy can be probed in three dimensions using Faraday rotation of pulsar signals. We report on the determination of 223 rotation measures from polarization observations of relatively distant southern pulsars made using the Parkes radio telescope. Combined with previously published observations these data give clear evidence for large-scale counterclockwise...
متن کاملNew pulsar rotation measures and the Galactic magnetic field
We measured a sample of 150 pulsar Rotation Measures (RMs) using the 20-cm receiver of the Parkes 64-m radio telescope. 46 of the pulsars in our sample have not had their RM values previously published, whereas 104 pulsar RMs have been revised. We used a novel quadratic fitting algorithm to obtain an accurate RM from the calibrated polarisation profiles recorded across 256 MHz of receiver bandw...
متن کاملThe Large-Scale Magnetic Field Structure of Our Galaxy: Efficiently Deduced from Pulsar Rotation Measures
In this review, I will first introduce possible methods to probe the large-scale magnetic fields in our Galaxy and discuss their limitations. The magnetic fields in the Galactic halo, mainly revealed by the sky distribution of rotation measures of extragalactic radio sources, probably have a global structure of a twisted dipole field. The large-scale field structure in the Galactic disk has bee...
متن کاملGalactic Rotation and Large Scale Structures
On the basis of a recent cosmological model, the puzzle of galactic rotational velocities at their edges is explained without invoking dark matter. A rationale for the existence of structures like galaxies and superclusters is also obtained.
