TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for determining the dispersion of magnetic field vectors about large-scale fields in turbulent molecular clouds, which is designed to avoid inaccurate estimates of magnetohydrodynamic or turbulent dispersion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an introduction to observing procedures and principles of analysis used in far-infrared polarimetry using single-dish observations of thermal emission from aligned dust grains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data on the polarization of the thermal emission from Galactic Clouds at 60 micrometers, 100 micrometer, and 350micrometers and conclude that the cloud envelopes must contain two populations of grains that differ in their polarization efficiencies and in their emission spectra.

TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of data obtained with the 350m polarimeter, Hertz, at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory is presented, along with tabulated results and maps showing polarization vectors and intensity contours.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of magnetic fields in star formation was investigated and a significant correlation was found for field directions detected from the two extremes, however, only the sub-Alfvenic cases result in field orientations consistent with their observations.
