Mapping the Galactic Magnetic Field

Polarization of a field of stars: Perkins

Magnetic field mapping of the molecular clouds and dust in the interstellar medium through the polarization of individual stars can yield information about the star formation process and the structure of the Milky Way. PRISM will aid this research with its large field of view, allowing the observation of many reference and program stars simultaneously. Email with questions.
