Magnetic field properties in star formation: A review of their analysis methods and interpretation

Linearly polarized emission from dust grains and molecular spectroscopy is an effective probe of the magnetic field topology in the interstellar medium and molecular clouds. The longstanding Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) method and the recently developed Histogram of Relative Orientations (HRO) an...
