Galactic Scale Magnetic Fields

In the 1980s, with the advent of aperture synthesis radio telescopes, the study of the large-scale structure of magnetic fields in external galaxies has undergone explosive growth. [Pg.171]

The synchrotron emission from the diffuse interstellar medium is the most direct measure of the overall magnetic [Pg.171]

Additional evidence for large-scale magnetism in the interstellar medium comes from the radio observation of supernova remnants, strong synchrotron sources that show the effects of the expanding blast wave in the redirection and shock-amplification of the ambient galactic field. [Pg.171]
