I present high-frequency polarimetric radio observations of the radio galaxy 3C171, in which depolarization is associated with an extended emission-line region. The radio hotspots, known to be depolarized at low radio frequencies, become…

Optical Faraday rotation is one of the most direct and practically important manifestations of magnetically broken time-reversal symmetry. The rotation angle is proportional to the distance traveled by the light, and up to now sizeable…

A Faraday rotation measure (RM) catalogue, or RM Grid, is a valuable resource for the study of cosmic magnetism. Using the second data release (DR2) from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we have produced a catalogue of 2461…

Electron and positron beams in storage-rings self-polarize by emitting spin-flipping synchrotron radiation. If new ultralight particles couple to $e^\pm$, their emission in synchrotron-like radiation would modify the characteristic…

Using one-dimensional models, we show that a helical magnetic field with an appropriate sign of helicity can compensate the Faraday depolarization resulting from the superposition of Faraday-rotated polarization planes from a spatially…

We estimate the spectral index, beta, of polarized synchrotron emission as observed in the 9 yr WMAP sky maps using two methods, linear regression ("T-T plot") and maximum likelihood. We partition the sky into 24 disjoint sky regions, and…

High-harmonic generation from solids can be utilized as probe of ultrafast dynamics, but thus far only over extended sample areas, since its spatial resolution is diffraction-limited. Here we propose spatial polarization gating, that is…

We search for observational signatures of magnetic helicity in data from all-sky radio polarization surveys of the Milky Way Galaxy. Such a detection would help confirm the dynamo origin of the field and may provide new observational…

A common point of view is that stable polar structures are mainly present in the E/S0 early-type galaxies lacking dense gas in their host disks. However, nuclear, as well as external polar rings and disks also exist in the late-type hosts,…
