Description
Polarised emission of more than 20% at lambda11 cm has been detected in several places in the southern part of M31. Faraday rotation effects in our Galaxy and in M31 appear to be small; it is suggested that the magnetic field is aligned along the arm. (orig.) 891 WL
Abstract (German)
An mehreren Orten des suedlichen Teils von M31 wurde bei lambda=11cm eine Emission mit einem Polarisationsgrad von mehr als 20% nachgewiesen. Faraday-Rotationseffekte scheinen in unserer Galaxis und in M31 klein zu sein; es wird vermutet, dass das Magnetfeld in Richtung des Armes verlaeuft. (orig.)Additional details
