Magnetic Fields in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds
This thesis is an observational investigation into the origin of large-scale coherent magnetic fields in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. I use Faraday rotation measure of both polarized extragalactic sources and that derived from diffuse polarized synchrotron emission as probes of interstel...
