The Random Magnetic Field of the Milky Way

We constrain the large-scale isotropic random component of the Galactic magnetic field using the Planck reconstruction of the 408 MHz synchrotron sky.

We constrain the large-scale isotropic random component of the Galactic magnetic field using the Planck reconstruction of the 408 MHz synchrotron sky. Our analysis simultaneously fits the random-field structure, the synchrotron contributions of the coherent field and local…
