We consider the possibility that cosmic magnetic field, instead of being uniformly distributed, is strongly correlated with the large scale structure of the universe. Then, the observed rotational measure of extra-galactic radio sources…

The main goals of this study is to use the information from both WMAP intensity and polarization data to do a separation of the Galactic components, with a focus on the synchrotron and anomalous emissions. Our analysis is made at 23 GHz…

The Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) is a 1.4 GHz radio polarization and HI survey in a large part of the inner Galactic plane at a resolution of about an arcmin. Depolarization and Faraday rotation of polarized radiation from diffuse…

We present a study of the Milky Way disk and halo magnetic field, determined from observations of Faraday rotation measure (RM) towards 641 polarized extragalactic radio sources in the Galactic longitude range 100-117 degs, within 30 degs…

The Parkes Galactic Meridian Survey (PGMS) is a 5 deg X 90 deg strip to map the polarized synchrotron emission along a Galactic meridian from the Galactic plane down to the south Galactic pole. The survey is carried out at the Parkes radio…

We present 3D models of the Galactic magnetic field including regular and turbulent components, and of the distribution of matter in the Galaxy including relativistic electrons and dust grains. By integrating along the line of sight, we…

We examine the proposal that the dispersion measures (DMs) and Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of extragalactic linearly-polarized fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be used to probe the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) in filaments of…

Using a set of compilations of measurements for extragalactic radio sources we construct all-sky maps of the Faraday Rotation produced by the Galactic magnetic field. In order to generate the maps we treat the radio source positions as a…
