Theme Structure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more Student intake Open for Bachelor, PhD students Read more Magellanic foreground: The handshake between HI gas and Galactic magnetic field The Milky Way's magnetic field is critical for shaping the structure and evolution of the galaxy, regulating star formation, and transporting cosmic rays. Understanding the interaction between the magnetic field and atomic HI gas is key to unraveling the galaxy's dynamics and evolution.
