Alyssa Goodman - Role of the Interstellar Magnetic Field

The Role of the Interstellar Magnetic Field

Description: Our efforts to measure the strength of the interstellar magnetic field are ongoing. In general, our observations show that the magnetic and kinetic energy are tightly coupled in the ISM. Zeeman - "Theory" - Polarimetry
