Molecular outflows from young protostars are widely believed to be collimated by magnetic fields, but there has been little observational evidence to support this hypothesis. Using the new technique of millimetre-wavelength…
It is well known that aligned, aspherical dust grains emit polarized radiation and that the degree of polarization depends on the angle $\psi$ between the interstellar magnetic field and the line of sight. However, anisotropy of the dust…
