The Magnetized Local Bubble, in 3D
Thanks to the work of many who came before, and publicly-shared vast data troves, we can draft a 3D map of the magnetic field on the surface of the Local Bubble. We are constantly improving our guess as to what the map looks like, so please use this page to find news, publications and talks, visuals (images, interactives, and videos), and data. Stay tuned for updates!
The first public showing of this work was at the 241st AAS meeting, in Seattle in 2023, and a preprint by O'Neill et al. is available on Authorea.

With special thanks to the 2021 and 2022 Interstellar Institute gatherings in Paris, and all the many brilliant scientists there, where the ideas for this work took root!
And to the National Science Foundation for supporting Theo O'Neill as a summer REU student, visiting the CfA from the University of Viginia in the Summer of 2022.
Many thanks to our collaborators on the OpenSpace team, especially Micah Acinapura at the American Museum of Natural History, with whom we will--soon--bring you much more of the Milky Way, in 3D. See MilkyWay3D.org for more.
