We compare a set of contemporary Galactic magnetic field (GMF) models with polarized synchrotron observations from the S-PASS and C-BASS radio surveys and combine them to create a reconstructed 4.76~GHz full sky map. Pixels that potentially…

As the next step toward an improved large scale Galactic magnetic field model, we present a simple comparison of polarised synchrotron and thermal dust emission on the Galactic plane. We find that the field configuration in our previous…

We use models of spectrally resolved cosmic ray (CR) transport in TIGRESS MHD simulations of the local ISM to produce synthetic synchrotron emission and to test, on scales from a few kpc down to ~10 pc, the traditional estimate of magnetic…
