Milky Way星系的磁场

The Magnetic Field of the Milky Way Galaxy

Jo-Anne Brown

摘要:

宇宙磁场是星际介质(ISM)的一个组成部分,对从恒星形成到星系动力学的尺度都有影响。虽然对外部星系的观测提供了星系内磁场的“鸟瞰图”,但同样重要的是探索我们银河系的磁场,它提供了一个更详细,尽管更复杂的视图。在过去的十年里,人们对银河磁场的兴趣显著增加,这主要是由加拿大银河平面调查所开发的创新所推动的。在本文中,我回顾了目前的状态的理解银河系磁场,并简要讨论了新的和未来的观测,将提供令人兴奋的新见解的领域。

英文摘要:

Cosmic magnetic fields are an integral component of the interstellar medium (ISM), having influence on scales ranging from star formation to galactic dynamics. While observations of external galaxies offer a `birds-eye-view' of magnetic fields within galaxies, it is equally important to explore the magnetic field of our own Milky Way Galaxy, which offers a more detailed, albeit more complicated view. Over the past decade there has been a significant increase in interest in the Galactic magnetic field, fueled largely by innovations developed through the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey. In this paper, I review the current state of understanding of the Galactic magnetic field, and discuss briefly new and future observations that will provide exciting new insights about the field.
