Interstellar magnetic fields in the Galactic center region
Aims. We seek to obtain a picture of the interstellar magnetic field in the Galactic center region that is as clear and complete as
متن کاملDetection of in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium: the Galactic Center
Absorption lines of have been detected in the spectra of two infrared sources in the Galactic 3 center and also toward the heavily reddened star Cygnus OB2 No. 12, whose line of sight is believed to include only di†use interstellar gas. The absorptions toward the Galactic center sources (IRS 3 and GCS 3-2) probably are due to both in di†use gas and in molecular clouds. The ratios of line equiva...
متن کاملInterstellar Extinction in the Vicinity of the Galactic Center
We present J (1.2 km), H (1.6 km), K@ (2.11 km), and Brc (2.166 km) images from four large regions within the central 40 pc of the Galaxy. Localized variations in the extinction, as determined by observations of the stellar population, are examined using the median H[K@ color as a function of position within each region. As the value of the derived extinction from the stars is dependent upon th...
متن کاملIsolated, Massive Supergiants near the Galactic Center
We have carried out a pilot project to assess the feasibility of using radio, infrared, and X-ray emission to identify young, massive stars located between 1 and 25 pc from the Galactic center. We first compared catalogs compiled from the Very Large Array, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and 2MASS. We identified two massive, young stars: the previously-identified star that is associated with the...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Polarimetry toward the Galactic Center
Near-infrared polarimetry of point sources reveals the presence of a toroidal magnetic field in the central 20’ x 20’ region of our Galaxy. Comparing the Stokes parameters between high extinction stars and relatively low extinction ones, we have obtained a polarization originating from magnetically aligned dust grains at the central region of our Galaxy of at most 1-2 kpc. The derived direction...
