We describe a Faraday-rotation structure in the Interstellar Medium detected through polarimetric imaging at 1420 MHz from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). The structure, at l=91.8, b=-2.5, has an extent of ~2 degree, within which…

A direct consequence of Faraday rotation is that the polarized radio sky does not resemble the total intensity sky at long wavelengths. We analyze G137+7, which is undetectable in total intensity but appears as a depolarization feature. We…

We utilized the Very Large Array to make multifrequency polarization measurements of 20 radio sources viewed through the IC 1805 HII region and "Superbubble", as well as in the immediate vicinity. The measurements at frequencies between…

We present first results for Faraday rotation of compact polarized sources (1 to 2 GHz continuum) in The HI/OH/Recombination line (THOR) survey of the inner Galaxy. In the Galactic longitude range 39 degr < l < 52 degr, we find rotation…

Faraday rotation has been seen at millimeter wavelengths in several low luminosity active galactic nuclei, including Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) targets M87* and Sgr A*. The observed rotation measure (RM) probes the density, magnetic…
