Magnetic Fields - A Ubiquitous Part of Galaxy Ecosystems
Date
The magnetic fields of spiral (M51, M83, NGC 3627, NGC 7331), starburst (M82, NGC 2146), active galactic nuclei (NGC 1068 and Centaurus A), and merging (Antennae galaxies) galaxies obtained by SALSA (Survey of extragALactic magnetiSm with SOFIA). Results are published in The Astrophysical Journal ( SALSA IV: Lopez-Rodriguez et al. ).
