Analysis of Galactic molecular cloud polarization maps: a review of the methods

The Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) method using the Angular Dispersion Function (ADF), the Histogram of Relative Orientations (HROs) and the Polarization-Intensity Gradient Relation (P-IGR) are the most common tools used to analyse maps of linearly polarized emission by thermal dust grains at submi...
