Magnetic fields, cosmic rays and synchrotron emission in spiral galaxies
Magnetic fields have been detected in many spiral galaxies. Observations of polarized radio synchrotron emission are the most useful tool in exploring the nature of these fields. We have developed methods to generate synthetic polarization maps of spiral galaxies (with allowance for their position a...
