abstract

We expand on the dispersion analysis of polarimetry maps toward applications to interferometry data. We show how the filtering of low-spatial frequencies can be accounted for within the idealized Gaussian turbulence model, initially introduced for single-dish data analysis, to recover reliable estimates for correlation lengths of magnetized turbulence, as well as magnetic field strengths (plane-of-the-sky component) using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method. We apply our updated technique to TADPOL/CARMA data obtained on W3(OH), W3 Main, and DR21(OH). For W3(OH) our analysis yields a turbulence correlation length $\delta\simeq19$ mpc, a ratio of turbulent-to-total magnetic energy $\left\langle B_{\mathrm{t}}^{2}\right\rangle /\left\langle B^{2}\right\rangle \simeq0.58$, and a magnetic field strength $B_{0}\sim1.1\:\mathrm{mG}$; for W3 Main $\delta\simeq22$ mpc, $\left\langle B_{\mathrm{t}}^{2}\right\rangle /\left\langle B^{2}\right\rangle \simeq0.74$, and $B_{0}\sim0.7\:\mathrm{mG}$; while for DR21(OH) $\delta\simeq12$ mpc, $\left\langle B_{\mathrm{t}}^{2}\right\rangle /\left\langle B^{2}\right\rangle \simeq0.70$, and $B_{0}\sim1.2\:\mathrm{mG}$.
