Is there Evidence for Disk-Halo Connections in M31?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Abstract
There is some evidence for disk-halo connections in M31, i.e.: (1) The central area seems inclined w.r.t. the main disk. (2) In several regions in the southern half the magnetic field has a significant component perpendicular to the disk. However, (3) any general emission from a thick disk at λ75 cm is ~100x weaker than that from our Galaxy. The uniform disk field seems to inhibit cosmic-ray diffusion perpendicular to the plane, and/or the field at high z is exceptionally weak.
