Zeeman splitting in OH megamasers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 March 2007
Abstract
We detected significant Zeeman splitting in the 1667 MHz OH megamaser emission from four ultraluminous galaxies. These detections, in addition to being the first extragalactic detection of the Zeeman effect in an emission line, suggest that OH megamasers are excellent extragalactic magnetometers.
