Diagnostics of polarized emission provide us with valuable information on the Galactic magnetic field and the state of turbulence in the interstellar medium, which cannot be obtained from synchrotron intensity alone. In Paper I (Herron et…

Simple expressions for the radius and magnetic field of a system emitting Synchrotron-self-absorbed radio and Inverse Compton X-rays are derived from first principles which involve observable quantities only. These expressions are useful…
