We use cosmological magneto-hydrodynamic simulations to study the evolution of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters in two different cosmological models, a standard-CDM and a $\Lambda$-CDM model. We show that the magnetic field strength…

Faraday rotation is one of the most widely used observables to infer the strength and configuration of the magnetic field in the ionised gas of the Milky Way and nearby spiral galaxies. Here we compute synthetic Faraday rotation maps at…

We present a correlation between X-ray surface brightness and Faraday rotation measure in galaxy clusters, both, from radio and X-ray observations as well as from modeling of the intra-cluster medium. The observed correlation rules out a…

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…

With this Letter, we complete our model of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF), by using the WMAP7 22 GHz total synchrotron intensity map and our earlier results to obtain a 13-parameter model of the Galactic random field, and to determine…

Magnetic fields are an important component of the interstellar medium (ISM) and exhibit strongly varying field strengths and a non-trivial correlation with the gas density. Its dynamical impact varies between individual regions of the ISM…

We present the first Faraday rotation measure (RM) grid study of an individual low-mass cluster -- the Fornax cluster -- which is presently undergoing a series of mergers. Exploiting commissioning data for the POlarisation Sky Survey of the…

We use models of spectrally resolved cosmic ray (CR) transport in TIGRESS MHD simulations of the local ISM to produce synthetic synchrotron emission and to test, on scales from a few kpc down to ~10 pc, the traditional estimate of magnetic…

We present Faraday rotation data for radio sources in the centers of the Abell clusters A400 and A2634. These clusters contain large (> 100 kpc), tailed radio sources, each attached to the central cD galaxy. These clusters do not have…

Radio synchrotron emission, its polarization and its Faraday rotation are powerful tools to study the strength and structure of interstellar magnetic fields. In the Milky Way, Faraday rotation of the polarized emission from pulsars and…

Faraday Rotation Measures (RM) should be interpreted with caution because there could be multiple magneto-ionized medium components that contribute to the net Faraday rotation along sight-lines. We introduce a simple test using Galactic…

Cosmological simulations predict that an intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) pervades the large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe. Measuring the IGMF is important to determine its origin (i.e. primordial or otherwise). Using data from…

The origin of magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies is still an unsolved problem, which is largely due to our poor understanding of initial seed magnetic fields. If the seed magnetic fields have primordial origins, it is likely that…
