Submillimeter Polarimetery at the Caltech submillimeter Observatory

芝加哥大学罗杰·希尔德布兰德：98财年：98,622美元；99财年：91,986美元，加州理工亚毫米天文台的亚毫米偏振测量仪。希尔德布兰德博士将在星际介质中磁场排列的颗粒产生的偏振的亚毫米波长下执行一个观测计划。通过在大范围的长度尺度上观察震源，他希望表征震源磁场几何结构中的取向、百分比极化和整体系统秩序。观测将使用位于夏威夷莫纳克亚的加州理工学院亚毫米天文台进行。***

Roger Hildebrand University of Chicago FY 98: $ 98,622 FY 99: $91,986 Submillimeter Polarimetery at the CalTech Submillimeter Observatory. Dr. Hildebrand will carry out an observational program at sub-mm wavelengths of the polarization that is produced by grains aligned by magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. By observing sources at a large range of length scales, he hopes to characterize the orientation, percentage polarization, and overall systematic order in the magnetic field geometry of the source. The observations will be carried out using the California Institute of Technology Submillimeter Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. ***
