Magnetic Field Strengths of Spiral Galaxies and the Far-Infrared/Radio Correlation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Extract
We have calculated equipartition magnetic fields for a complete, optically-selected sample of 165 spiral galaxies. The magnetic field distribution (fig. 1) is type independent, and shows remarkably little spread in values, around 1 decade in B. This is not due to selection effects because of the nature of the sample and the 95 percent detection rate.
