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…

Faraday rotation of radio source polarization provides a measure of the integrated magnetic field along the observational lines of sight. We compare a new, large sample of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of polarized extragalactic sources…
