The Magnetic Fields of Starburst Galaxies. I. Identification and Characterization of the Thermal Polarization in the Galactic Disk and Outflow
Far-infrared polarized emission by means of magnetically aligned dust grains is an excellent tracer of the magnetic fields (B-fields) in the cold phase of the galactic outflows of starburst galaxies. We present a comprehensive study of the B-fields in three nearby (3.5–17.2 Mpc) starbursts (M82, NGC...
