Summer Student Project: Zeeman splitting in OH EGOs
| Submitter: | Daysi Quinatoa |
| Description: | In this project we used the EVN to investigate the magnetic fields in massive protostars to understand the role of B-fields in the launching of outflows. By measuring the Zeeman splitting effect we could detect the magnetic field in massive star-forming region G47.45+0.05. The field strength was -3.88 mG which is consistent with similar measurements made previously with the VLA. This suggests that the B-field does not suffer from feature blending at the VLA scale, i.e. the B-field properties do not change significantly between VLA and VLBI scales. |
