Astronomy Object of the Month: Multiphase magnetic fields in the galaxy NGC 3627

Magnetic fields play an important role in the formation and evolution of a galaxy, but it is challenging to measure them by observation. Leo Triplet member NGC3627 was a subject of determining magnetic field orientation via Velocity Gradient Technique (VGT) using spectroscopic data. The agreement of the VGT-CO and polarization suggests that the magnetic fields associated with synchrotron emission also percolate through star-forming regions. The VGT-Hα measurement reveals the magnetic fields in the warm ionized medium that permeates the disc and disc’s vicinity so that it exhibits less agreement with polarization. More...

Jagiellonian University with its own space mission under ERC grant!


The European Research Council has awarded 3 mln € to dr Michał Drahus for the HYADES project, under which a dedicated space telescope will be built to observe hydrogen and deuterium around small bodies in the Solar System. The goal is to determine the origin of water on our planet and to search for new and previously unknown water reservoirs in the Solar System and other planetary systems. The five-year project will be carried out at the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University. More...
