Polarimetry at millimeter wavelengths with the NIKA camera: calibration and performance

Magnetic fields, which play a major role in a large number of astrophysical processes can be traced via observations of dust polarization. In particular, Planck low-resolution observations of dust polarization have demonstrated that Galactic filamentary structures, where star formation takes place,...
