The Galactic interstellar medium hosts a significant magnetic field, which can be probed through the synchrotron emission produced from its interaction with relativistic electrons. Linearly polarized synchrotron emission is generated…

Rotation measures of pulsars and extragalactic point sources have been known to reveal large-scale antisymmetries in the Faraday rotation sky with respect to the Galactic plane and halo that have been interpreted as signatures of the mean…

The configuration of the regular magnetic field in M31 is deduced from radio polarization observations at the wavelengths 6, 11 and 20 cm. By fitting the observed azimuthal distribution of polarization angles, we find that the regular…
