Observations of the properties of dense molecular clouds are critical in understanding the process of star-formation. One of the most important, but least understood, is the role of the magnetic fields. We discuss the possibility of using…

Much of the information about the magnetic field in the Milky Way and other galaxies comes from measurements which are path integrals, such as Faraday rotation and the polarization of synchrotron radiation of cosmic ray electrons. The…
