The Westerbork SINGS Survey II. Polarization, Faraday Rotation, and Magnetic Fields

Heald, G., Braun, R., Edmonds, R.

Understand

A sample of large northern Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) galaxies has recently been observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT).

We present observations of the linearly polarized radio continuum emission in this WSRT-SINGS galaxy sample.
Of the 28 galaxies treated in this paper, 21 are detected in polarized radio continuum at 18- and 22-cm wavelengths.
We utilize the rotation measure synthesis (RM-Synthesis) method, as implemented by Brentjens & de Bruyn, to coherently detect polarized emission from a large fractional bandwidth, while simultaneously assessing the degree of Faraday rotation experienced by the radiation along each line-of-sight.
