My work is based on radio line-, continuum- and polarization- observations from submm to cm wavelength range with many different telescopes like the 100-m Effelsberg, VLA, Pico Veleta, Plateau de Bure Interferometer, Nobeyama 45-m and Millimeter Array, SEST, Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope, and now the EVLA.
I'm involved in the CHANG-ES project - an EVLA survey of nearby edge-on galaxies with the EVLA and at present a member of the steering committee.
Here you can get the program bfield.gz
to compute the strength of the total and regular magnetic fields from total and polarized synchrotron intensities as described by R.Beck & M.Krause, 2005, AN 326, No.6, 414. The program was compiled on ubunto 10.04 with gfortran --version. Please tell me if you need another compilation.
