The Strength of the Sheared Magnetic Field in the Galactic’s Circumnuclear Disk

Recent high-resolution 53 μ m polarimetric observations from SOFIA/HAWC+ have revealed the inferred plane-of-the-sky magnetic field ( B -field) orientation in the Galactic center’s circumnuclear disk (CND). The B -field is mostly aligned with the steamers of ionized material falling onto Sgr A* at l...
