Description
The study of projected magnetic field geometry and dust grain characteristics of the molecular cloud in relation with their other properties like structure and kinematics can give great insight into the role played for the formation and evolution of dark clouds by the magnetic field in shaping the structure and dynamics of these objects. In this paper we present the results obtained from polarimetric observations of two star forming clouds CB56 CB60 and CB 69 at V-filter. The observations were made from the 2-metre telescope at IUCAA Girawali Observatory (IGO) Pune India on March 4 2011. The CCD images obtained from the instrument (IFOSC) were analyzed to build the polarization map of two clouds.
