ALMA Polarimetry Measures Magnetically Aligned Dust Grains in the Torus of NGC 1068

The obscuring structure surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be explained as a dust and gas flow cycle that fundamentally connects the AGN with their host galaxies. This structure is believed to be associated with dusty winds driven by radiation pressure. However, the role of magnetic fields...
