Magnetic fields in star-forming region

My research interests include the investigations of magnetic fields in various environments such as low- and intermediate-mass star forming regions on their different evolutionary stages, Bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs) in several HII regions, and filamentary dark clouds using optical/near- far-IR/ sub(mm) polarimetry. I also work on understanding the radiatively-driven kinematics of molecular clouds located on peripheries of these HII regions.

Some glimpse of my research...

Left two panels show the observed and modeled field geometry in HII regions from my papers Soam et al. (2017b) and Soam et al. (2018a). The right panel is a research highlight of large to small scale magnetic field morphologies in a core with very low luminosity object (Soam et al. 2019a)

So far, I have covered optical, NIR, FIR, sub(mm) polarization regimes. I am now mostly working on gas kinematics of these regions using multi-band molecular gas tracer observations specially from TRAO. I mainly use SOFIA, ALMA, JCMT, TRAO, GBT, IRTF, SMA, and several other observatory data for my research projects.
