Three-dimensional observations of interstellar magnetic fields

Event Information:
Magnetic fields pervade the interstellar medium and are important in the star-formation process. However, probing magnetic fields of star-forming regions is challenging. In this talk, I will discuss our research on the 3D morphology of magnetic fields in star-forming molecular clouds. We first developed a novel technique based on Faraday rotation measurements to determine the line-of-sight strength and direction of magnetic fields associated with molecular clouds. We applied our technique to four relatively nearby filamentary molecular clouds.
