We observed 21 polarized background radio sources in the field of M31 at 1.365 GHz and 1.652 GHz, and determined their rotation measures (RMs). The RM data show that the regular magnetic field of the disk probably extends from about 5 kpc to 25 kpc from the center with similar structure. The RMs obtained from the polarized emission from M31 at $\lambda$6 cm and $\lambda$11 cm indicate that M31 might have a weak poloidal field in its tenuous halo. Observational features of the odd and even…

This paper describes the role that the Square Kilometre Array can play in studies of Cosmic Magnetism, with emphasis on one of the main tracers of cosmic magnetism, viz radio polarimetry. Radio
Interstellar magnetic fields are strong: up to 25μG in spiralarms and 40μG in nuclear regions.In the spiral galaxy NGC 6946 the average magnetic energy densityexceeds that of the thermal gas.
Spiral galaxies host dynamically important magnetic fields which can affect gas flows in the disks and halos. Total magnetic fields in spiral galaxies are strongest (up to 30 μG) in the spiral arms
Observational results of interstellar and intergalactic magnetic fields are reviewed, including the fields in supernova remnants and loops, interstellar filaments and clouds, Hii regions and bubbles,
A review of galactic magnetic fields is given with emphasis on simple analytical solutions of relevant equations and detailed comparison with observations. It is shown that mean-field dynamo theory,

We further explore a scenario in which the recently observed 3.55 keV photon line arises from dark matter decay to an axion-like particle (ALP) of energy 3.55 keV, which then converts to a photon in
The present work derived the robust constraints on annihilating WIMP parameters utilizing new radio observations of M31, as well as new studies of its dark matter distribution and other properties.
