摘要:
We have made near-infrared (JHK(s) ) imaging polarimetry toward 24 bright-rimmed clouds in the southern hemisphere in order to reveal their magnetic field structures. The obtained polarization vector maps show that the magnetic field directions inside the bright rim are different from its ambient magnetic field direction, implying that magnetic field structures just inside the ionized front of the clouds are due to the gas compression by UV radiation from nearby massive star. Our investigation into the relation between the magnetic field configuration and the shape of the cloud suggests that the magnetic field configuration affects the evolution of the cloud shape.
