Zusammenfassung |
Faraday rotation is a process by which the position angle (PA) of
background linearly polarized light is rotated when passing through an ionized
and magnetized medium. The effect is sensitive to the line-of-sight magnetic
field in conjunction with the electron density. This contribution highlights
diagnostic possibilities of inferring the magnetic field (or absence thereof)
in and around wind-blown bubbles from the Faraday effect. Three cases are
described as illustrations: a stellar toroidal magnetic field, a shocked
interstellar magnetic field, and an interstellar magnetic field within an
ionized bubble. |
