Absorption lines, Faraday rotation, and magnetic field estimates for QSO absorption-line clouds

Absorption lines, Faraday rotation, and magnetic field estimates for QSO absorption-line clouds

We have estimated the extragalactic component of Faraday rotation for a sample of 37 QSOs for which there is good absorption line data, which we have also analyzed. Statistical evidence is presented which suggests that we have isolated a component of Faraday rotation which is occurring in the absorp...

Zusammenfassung:We have estimated the extragalactic component of Faraday rotation for a sample of 37 QSOs for which there is good absorption line data, which we have also analyzed. Statistical evidence is presented which suggests that we have isolated a component of Faraday rotation which is occurring in the absorption clouds of some QSOs.
