POLARIMETRIC IMAGING OF THE GALACTIC-CENTER AT 12.4 MICRONS - THE DETAILED MAGNETIC-FIELD STRUCTURE IN THE NORTHERN ARM AND EAST-WEST BAR
We present new closely sampled (∼1″) imaging polarimetry of the central 0.5 pc of the Galaxy at 12.4 μm with a 58 × 62 array camera system. The image shows a much more detailed view of the morphology of the intrinsically polarized emission (and the associated aligning magnetic field) in the ionized...
