The magnetic field strength in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
We have measured a value of 4±5m--2rad for the rotation measure of the radio pulsar PSR0529-66 in the LMC and, after allowing for the dispersion and rotation measures of our Galaxy on the pulsar's line of sight, we deduce that the magnetic field strength in the LMC is in the range 0 to 5μGauss oriented away from the Sun.
