摘要
We present imaging polarimetry of Sgr A at a wavelength of 12.5 mu m, obtained with Michelle on UKIRT early in 2002. With considerably more sensitivity than previously available we have concentrated on the faint region bounded by the northern arm north of IRS1, IRS8, and the western arc of the molecular ring, to probe the magnetic field directions in this region.
