abstract

This chapter presents a review of observational studies to determine the magnetic field in the Milky Way, both in the disk and in the halo, focused on recent developments and on magnetic fields in the diffuse interstellar medium. I discuss some terminology which is confusingly or inconsistently used and try to summarize current status of our knowledge on magnetic field configurations and strengths in the Milky Way. Although many open questions still exist, more and more conclusions can be drawn on the large-scale and small-scale components of the Galactic magnetic field. The chapter is concluded with a brief outlook to observational projects in the near future.

Graviton Floor

gr-qc · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Photon-to-graviton conversion in blazar jets dominates a new graviton background that sets a floor for high-frequency GW detectors, analogous to the neutrino floor.

Fast Radio Bursts as Cosmological Probes

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

FRBs serve as cosmological probes via dispersion measure, scattering, and Faraday rotation to constrain baryon distribution, expansion history, magnetic fields, and fundamental physics effects.
