Exploring the Magnetic Field Geometry in NGC 891 with SOFIA/HAWC+

Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy/High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-plus 154 μ m Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of the well-studied edge-on galaxy NGC 891 are analyzed and compared to simple disk models with ordered (planar) and turbulent magnetic fields. The overall low...
