3D Magnetic Field Observations Associated With Filamentary Molecular Clouds - Mehrnoosh Tahani

Institute for Advanced Study via YouTube

Overview

This course aims to teach students about 3D magnetic field observations associated with filamentary molecular clouds. The learning outcomes include understanding the 3D morphology of magnetic fields, learning a new technique for determining the line-of-sight strength and direction of magnetic fields, and studying magnetic field reversals across molecular clouds. The course covers skills such as analyzing Faraday rotation measurements, using models and statistical tools to study magnetic field morphology, and reconstructing magnetic field morphologies using Galactic magnetic field models and velocity information. The teaching method involves a seminar-style lecture where the speaker discusses techniques and results. The intended audience for this course is individuals interested in astrophysics, magnetic fields in the interstellar medium, and observational techniques related to molecular clouds.
