The Magnetic Field Structure of the CANIS-MAJORIS-R1 Star Formation Region
Abstract
The authors have carried out an extensive linear polarization survey of the CMa R1 region using the VATPOL polarimeter at the 61-inch and 90-inch telescopes of the University of Arizona and the 40-inch telescope of the U.S. Naval Observatory. Observations were obtained for 116 stars which appeared to sample the CMa R1 dark nebulosity and for 26 of the stars found to be associated with bright nebulosity by Herbst et al. (1982).
