We investigate the origin of the high Faraday rotation measures (RMs) found for polarized radio galaxies in clusters. The two most likely origins are, magnetic fields local to the source, or magnetic fields located in the foreground…

Rotation measure (RM) grids of extragalactic radio sources have been widely used for studying cosmic magnetism. But their potential for exploring the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) in filaments of galaxies is unclear, since other…
Magnetic fields have been observed in galaxy clusters with strengths of the order of $\sim \mu$G. The non-thermal pressure exerted by magnetic fields also contributes to the total pressure in galaxy clusters and can in turn affect the…
The detection and study of magnetic fields surrounding galaxies is important to understand galaxy evolution since magnetic fields are tracers for dynamical processes in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and can have a significant impact on…
Large-scale coherent magnetic fields in the intergalactic medium are presumed to play a key role in the formation and evolution of the cosmic web, and in large scale feedback mechanisms. However, they are theorized to be extremely weak, in…
We have measured the Faraday rotation toward a large sample of polarized radio sources behind the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), to determine the structure of this galaxy's magnetic field. The magnetic field of the LMC consists of a coherent…
