Context. Regularly-spaced, star-forming regions along the spiral arms of nearby galaxies provide insight into the early stages and initial conditions of star formation. The regular separation of these star-forming regions suggests spiral…
Magnetic fields play a fundamental role in protostellar collapse and disk formation, yet direct measurements of magnetic field strength in deeply embedded protostellar envelopes remain difficult. We present a new method to estimate both the…
We seek to exploit the expanded observational range of the MeerKAT radio telescope with the new S-band receivers (2.0-2.8 GHz). To showcase its enhanced capabilities, we conducted new S-band observations of the galaxy NGC 2997 in full…
We propose a new self-consistent dynamo mechanism for the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in natural objects. Recent computational studies have described the formation of large-scale vortices (LSVs) in rotating turbulent…
We study a conspicuous ring-like structure with a radius of about 1.4 degrees which was observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) at 5 frequencies around 350 MHz. This ring is very prominent in Stokes Q and U, and less…
