| Abstract: |
Polarization maps of Galactic clouds at multiple far-infrared and
submillimeter wavelengths have been used to study changing magnetic
field structure with cloud depth, as well as put limits on dust
grain shape, temperature, emissivity, and alignment efficiency. To
date, few detailed studies have been carried out on individual
clouds at multiple wavelengths. We identify 15 clouds which have
been mapped in polarization at both 350 and 850 μm and
compare the polarization amplitudes and position angles at the two
wavelengths. This more than triples the number of clouds at which
direct comparisons have been made at 350 and 850 μm. |
