Magnetic fields over Herschel and MeerKAT images
The Galactic Center Magnetosphere
Date

Magnetic fields inferred from the FIREPLACE pilot study are shown superposed on Herschel 250 um data (left) and MeerKAT 1 GHz data (right). Non-thermal filaments (NTFs) that run perpendicular to the galactic plane can be seen in the lower right part of the image on the right.
