AAS240 Exhibitor Presentation: SOFIA Legacy datasets: Polarimetric observations with HAWC+
The HAWC+ instrument aboard SOFIA has opened the way to the exploration of magnetic fields on dusty sources, through polarization measurements at mid- and far-IR wavelengths. We will describe the data from two large HAWC+ Legacy programs, SALSA (PI Lopez-Rodriguez) and FIELDMAPS (PI Stephens). SALSA datasets are putting together a comprehensive empirical picture of the magnetic field strength and structure in multiphase ISM, based on a sample of 15 nearby galaxies.
