Detection of a Coherent Magnetic Field in the Magellanic Bridge through Faraday Rotation
Detection of a Coherent Magnetic Field in the Magellanic Bridge through Faraday Rotation
We present an investigation into the magnetism of the Magellanic Bridge, carried out through the observation of Faraday rotation towards 167 polarized extragalactic radio sources spanning the continuous frequency range of 1.3–3.1 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Comparing measured Faraday depth values of sources 'on' and 'off' the …
