Galactic Rotation and Large Scale Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Antisymmetry in the Faraday Rotation Sky Caused by a Nearby Magnetized Bubble
Rotation measures of pulsars and extragalactic point sources have been known to reveal largescale antisymmetries in the Faraday rotation sky with respect to the Galactic plane and halo that have been interpreted as signatures of the mean magnetic field in the Galactic halo. We describe Faraday rotation measurements of the diffuse Galactic polarized radio emission over a large region in the nort...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملStatistical Analysis of Extra-galactic Rotation Measures
We have performed a statistical analysis of a sample of 1100 extra-galactic rotation measures (RMs) obtained from the literature. Using a subsample of approximately 800 reliable RMs we compute a rotation measure sky and determine reliable large scale features for the line of sight Galactic magnetic field. We find that the influence of the Milky Way can be seen up to roughly 30◦ on either side o...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in the Southern Galactic Plane Survey
The Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) is a 1.4 GHz radio polarization and H I survey in a large part of the inner Galactic plane at a resolution of about an arcmin. Depolarization and Faraday rotation of polarized radiation from diffuse Galactic synchrotron emission, pulsars, and extragalactic sources can be used to infer information about the strength and structure of the Galactic magnetic...
