The Structure of Magnetic Fields in Spiral Galaxies: A Radio and Far-infrared Polarimetric Analysis
We propose and apply a method to quantify the morphology of the large-scale ordered magnetic fields ( B -fields) in galaxies. This method is adapted from the analysis of Event Horizon Telescope polarization data. We compute a linear decomposition of the azimuthal modes of the polarization field in r...
