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.
