| Abstract: |
One way in which the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey has made an
important contribution to the understanding of the Galactic
interstellar medium is through its polarization surveys. Investigation
of these data has enabled a big step in the study of magnetic fields
in the interstellar medium and a range of discrete, extended,
interstellar objects. In this review, I will discuss the role that the
magnetic field plays in the interstellar medium, summarizing the ways
in which magnetic field interacts with the other components in the
Milky Way. Magnetic fields in the Galactic halo are discussed, and an
outlook to a number of successor surveys of the polarized CGPS in the
near future is given. |
