摘要:
Observations of the face-on galaxy NGC 6946 are inconsistent with a simple bisymmetric large-scale field structure confined to the galactic plane; the magnetic field must also possess significant three-dimensionality. The edge-on galaxy NGC 4945 has an active nucleus and a radio halo. Linear polarization maxima on each side of the central galactic plane suggest the presence of a strongly ordered poloidal magnetic field there.
