Mid-infrared polarization studies of SgrA: a three-dimensional study of the central parsec

Thermal emission from magnetically aligned dust grains produces the observed mid-infrared polarization in the northern arm and east - west bar of SgrA West; recent arcsecond-resolution imaging polarimetry at 12.5 μm of these ionized filaments is presented, which confirms and extends previous studies...
