Polarization angle dispersion is systematically underestimated by factors of 1-10 due to scale dependence and beam effects, causing magnetic field strengths in star-forming regions to be overestimated.

New optical polarization data of over 90,000 stars shows H I filaments in the Riegel-Crutcher cloud tightly aligned with a coherent plane-of-sky magnetic field, indicating magnetic fields shape the cold neutral medium.
New observations confirm hourglass magnetic fields at clump scales in G35.20-0.74, with strengths of approximately 600 μG in G35N and 850 μG in G35S, supporting magnetically regulated collapse in G35N and feedback influence in G35S.
