The Intrinsic Magnetic Field Orientation in NGC 4631: Dynamo or Outflow ?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
The interacting galaxy NGC4631 is unique among edge-on galaxies in that it shows a prominent synchrotron radio halo. We derive the intrinsic magnetic field structure in this halo. The field lines are mainly radially outgoing from the central region. The possible mechanisms generating such magnetic fields in the halo, i.e. outflows and dynamo processes, are discussed.
