A SURVEY OF EXTRAGALACTIC FARADAY ROTATION AT HIGH GALACTIC LATITUDE: THE VERTICAL MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE MILKY WAY TOWARD THE GALACTIC POLES

A SURVEY OF EXTRAGALACTIC FARADAY ROTATION AT HIGH GALACTIC LATITUDE: THE VERTICAL MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE MILKY WAY TOWARD THE GALACTIC POLES

We present a study of the vertical magnetic field of the Milky Way towards the Galactic poles, determined from observations of Faraday rotation toward more than 1000 polarized extragalactic radio sources at Galactic latitudes |b| > 77 degs, using the Westerbork Radio Synthesis Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. …
