    The Planck satellite has completed the first whole sky map of dust polarization in emission. The data is revealing a new sky we have started to explore. The observations have the sensitivity and angular resolution to image dust polarization over the whole sky. For the first time, we have the data needed to characterize the structure of the Galactic magnetic field and its coupling with...

  4. 54. Magnetic fields in high velocity clouds

    High velocity clouds (HVCs) observed around the Milky Way trace the interaction between the Galactic disk and halo and may provide fuel for star formation in the disk. However, hydrodynamic work suggests that HVCs should not be able to survive passage through the Galactic halo as far as observed. We present an analysis of Faraday rotation observations which we have used to measure magnetic...

    Magnetic fields in the interstellar medium (ISM) critically affect many astrophysical processes in various environments and scales, such as the collapse of molecular clouds, the formation of jets, and accretion of matter through circumstellar disks. However, vital questions still remain unanswered due to an apparently complex structure of the magnetic field on various scales and so far rather...

  6. 91. The far-infrared - radio correlation: Star formation and magnetic field amplification in the ISM
    Dominik Schleicher (Institut für Astrophysik Göttingen)

    contributed talk
    The presence of magnetic fields is well-established in the interstellar medium of galaxies, which can be probed via the far-infrared - radio correlation even at high redshift. The latter corresponds to a correlation between the star formation rate and the magnetic field strength in galaxies. In this talk, I will show how such a correlation can be obtained as a result of turbulent magnetic...
