Pulsars can act as an excellent probe of the Milky Way magnetic field. The average strength of the Galactic magnetic field component parallel to the line of sight can be estimated as $\langle B_\parallel \rangle = 1.232 \,…
We discuss the regular magnetic field in the galaxy M51 on the basis of a new interpretation of polarization angles observed at the wavelengths 2.8, 6.2, 18.0 and 20.5 cm. We found a magneto-ionic halo in M51 with a radial extent of about…
