Magnetic Fields in the Central Molecular Zone Influenced by Feedback and Weakly Correlated with Star Formation

Magnetic Fields in the Central Molecular Zone Influenced by Feedback and Weakly Correlated with Star Formation

Magnetic fields of molecular clouds in the central molecular zone (CMZ) have been relatively under-observed at sub-parsec resolution. Here, we report JCMT/POL2 observations of polarized dust emission in the CMZ, which reveal magnetic field structures in dense gas at ∼0.5 pc resolution. The 11 molecu...
