Dispersion of Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds. II

摘要:

我们扩展了对分子云中偏振角色散的研究。我们展示了如何通过云的厚度,以及整个区域所包含的望远镜光束固有的尘埃连续测量的信号集成的效果可以纳入我们的分析,以正确地解释其对测得的角色散和推断的湍流大尺度磁场强度比的影响。我们进一步展示了如何评估湍流磁场相关尺度足够的空间分辨率和足够高的空间采样率的偏振数据。我们将我们的结果应用到分子云OMC-1,在那里我们发现一个湍流的相关长度约为16 mpc,湍流的大规模磁场强度比约为0.5,和一个平面的天空大规模磁场强度约为0.76 mG。

英文摘要:

We expand our study on the dispersion of polarization angles in molecular clouds. We show how the effect of signal integration through the thickness of the cloud as well as across the area subtended by the telescope beam inherent to dust continuum measurements can be incorporated in our analysis to correctly account for its effect on the measured angular dispersion and inferred turbulent to large-scale magnetic field strength ratio. We further show how to evaluate the turbulent magnetic field correlation scale from polarization data of sufficient spatial resolution and high enough spatial sampling rate. We apply our results to the molecular cloud OMC-1, where we find a turbulent correlation length of approximately 16 mpc, a turbulent to large-scale magnetic field strength ratio of approximately 0.5, and a plane-of-the-sky large-scale magnetic field strength of approximately 0.76 mG.
