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…

Many of the most luminous extragalactic radio sources are located at the centers of X-ray clusters, and so their radiation must be scattered by the surrounding hot gas. We show that radio observations of the highly-polarized scattered…
