Constraining Magnetic and Gravitational Energies in Star-Forming Clouds
Date
The magnetic streamlines from Planck superposed on a three-color image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex from Herschel. The higher-resolution insets from SOFIA/HAWC+ show clearly that the streamlines are oriented perpendicular to the structure.
