The search for the elusive Zeeman effect in HI |
|
| Authors: | R.D. Davies |
| Abstract: | The paper describes the early endeavours by radioastronomers to detect the weak signature of the Zeeman effect in interstellar neutral hydrogen clouds in an effort to measure the Galactic magnetic field strength. The search is set in the context of the neutral hydrogen programme at Jodrell Bank. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
