Evidence from optical polarimetry for spiral structure in the magnetic field and cloud density around newly-formed stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Deep CCD imaging of the Serpens bipolar nebula shows it to be surrounded by molecular cloud material having spiral density structure. Polarization mapping indicates that the magnetic field in this material also exhibits spiral structure and we interpret this as the remains of the magnetically-braked collapse of a protostellar cloud. A binary star system has formed in the cloud core.
