Further Measurements of Magnetic Fields in Interstellar Clouds of Neutral Hydrogen

Nature volume 223, pages 140–142 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

A new series of measurements of the Zeeman splitting of 21-cm spectral lines has revealed strong (> 10−5 G) magnetic field effects in several neutral hydrogen clouds in the direction of HII regions. Low limits have been set to the line-of-sight field components in six other regions of space.
