B-fields and gas motion in the L1689 region: an interpretation of Planck polarization data
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2020
Abstract
With using the Planck polarization data (PR2, 2016A A…596A.109P), we investigate the magnetic fields in L1689 and associated clouds, and compare them with centroid velocities VLSR of 12CO and 13CO from the COMPLETE survey (2006AJ….131.2921R). We observe two components in this elongated region: in one component, the position angle of the magnetic field varies from –10 to 110 degrees in the galactic coordinate, while VLSR is rather constant (=4 ± 0.5 km/s). In the other component with the position angle being constant (=110 ± 15 degrees), the velocity VLSR shows a spatial gradient from 3 to 5 km/s, as one goes from west to east along the direction of elongation. If the east side of the component is more distant from us than the west, this gradient suggests that this component is stretching.
