Zeeman splitting in OH megamasers
We detected significant Zeeman splitting in the 1667MHz OH megamaser emission from four ultraluminous galaxies. These detections, in addition to being the first extragalactic detection of the Zeeman effect in an emission line, suggest that OH megamasers are excellent extragalactic magnetometers.
متن کاملA new probe of magnetic fields during high-mass star formation Zeeman splitting of 6.7 GHz methanol masers
Context. The role of magnetic fields during high-mass star formation is a matter of fierce debate, yet only a few direct probes of magnetic field strengths are available. Aims. The magnetic field is detected in a number of massive star-forming regions through polarization observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers. Although these masers are the most abundant of the maser species occurring during h...
متن کاملVlba Observations of G5.89 0.39: Oh Masers and Magnetic Field Structure
We present VLBA observations of 1667 MHz OH maser emission from the massive star formation region G5.89 0.39. The observations were phase-referenced, allowing the absolute positions of the masers to be obtained. The 1667MHzmasers have radial velocities that span 50 km s 1 but show little evidence of tracing the bipolar molecular outflow, as has been claimed in previous studies. We identify 23 Z...
متن کاملEnhanced density and magnetic fields in interstellar OH masers
Aims. We have observed the 6030 and 6035 MHz transitions of OH in high-mass star-forming regions to obtain magnetic field estimates in both maser emission and absorption. Methods. Observations were taken with the Effelsberg 100 m telescope. Results. Our observations are consistent with previous results, although we do detect a new 6030 MHz maser feature near −70 km s−1 in the vicinity of W3(OH)...
متن کاملDetermination of magnetic fields based on the Zeeman effect in regimes inaccessible by Zeeman-splitting spectroscopy
We discuss the limits of applying spectroscopic methods for the determination of magnetic fields that are based on the Zeeman effect and allow for extending the field diagnostics to conditions inwhich the Zeemansplit pattern is not resolvable. We analyze the diagnostic limits in terms of the minimummagnetic field that canbedetermined for a givenLorentzian line-width. This formof analysis isusef...
