Magnetic field components analysis of the SCUPOL 850 microns polarization data catalog
Abstract
The SCUPOL catalog is a compilation of 83 regions that were observed at the JCMT between 1997 and 2005. For sufficiently sampled maps, we conduct an analysis for characterizing the polarization and magneto-turbulent properties of the observed regions. The same analysis is done on 2D polarization maps produced by 3D MHD 1024 pixel grid simulations that have been scaled on a sample of observed maps. Each scaled MHD cube of simulated data is used to calculate the mean turbulent regime of each observed regions.
