Magnetic Fields in Giant Filaments Probed by the Velocity Gradient Technique: Regular Magnetic Field Interrupted by Magnetization Gaps

We study the magnetic field structures in six giant filaments associated with the spiral arms of the Milky Way by applying the velocity gradient technique (VGT) to the ^13 CO spectroscopic data from the GRS, FUGIN, and SEDIGSM surveys. Unlike dust-polarized emission, the VGT allows us to separate th...
