Galactic and Intergalactic Magnetic Fields
Radio synchrotron emission from the galaxy cluster A 2256 at D 13 cm, observed with the WSRT (M. Trasatti, Ph.D. thesis, Univ. Bonn, 2014). Contour lines depict the total intensity, the coloured bars show the orientation of the magnetic field, with their length proportional to the degree of linear polarisation.
