Upper Limits to Magnetic Fields in the Outskirts of Galaxies

Based on CO(2-1) public data, we study the monoxide oxygen gas excitation conditions and the magnetic field strength of four spiral galaxies. For the galaxy outskirts, we found kinetic temperatures in the range of ≲35–38 K, CO column densities ≲ 10 15 – 10 16 cm - 2 , and H...
