. Multi-epoch observations of the ЮВ Pictoris b exoplanet. The planet was imaged in 2003 (left image) in the L' band (3.8 ЮМm) in the plane of the circumstellar disk surrounding the star (not seen here). It was detected again October 2009 (middle) when it had moved to the other side of the star. The new observations made March 2010 at 2.18 ЮМm are shown in the right panel. The planet has moved yet again relative to its position measured in 2009. Astronomy Astrophysics

Abstract -- The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. ... To infer information about these irregularities from the observational data, we develop statistical relationships between the rms values of the irregular component of the magnetic field and spatial variations in the circular polarization of the spectral line radiation. ...
