We analyze the magnetic field geometry and the transport processes of the cosmic rays of the edge-on spiral starburst galaxy NGC 4666 from CHANG-ES radio continuum data in two frequencies; 6 GHz (C-band) and 1.5 GHz (L-band). Supplementary…

Spectropolarimetic campaigns have established that large-scale magnetic fields are present at the surfaces of approximately 10% of massive dwarf stars. However, there is a dearth of magnetic field measurements for their deep interiors.…

Polarised radio emission from PSR J1745-2900 has already been used to investigate the strength of the magnetic field in the Galactic Centre, close to Sagittarius A*. Here we report how persistent radio emission from this magnetar, for over…

To study some characteristics of the interstellar medium, observational data of pulsars with large Faraday rotation values (|RM|> 300 rad / m2) were used. It was suggested and justified that large |RM| values can be due to the contribution…
