We study the magnetic field structures in six giant filaments associated with the spiral arms of the Milky Way by applying the Velocity Gradient technique (VGT) to the 13CO spectroscopic data from GRS, Fugin, and SEDIGSM surveys. Compared…

The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. Irregularities in this magnetic field may be present due to turbulence, waves or perhaps…
