SOFIA/HAWC+ Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) Survey III: Full Survey Data Set

We present the second data release (DR2) of the Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey. This survey utilized the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera plus (HAWC+) instrument at 214 $\mu$m (E-band) to observe dust polarization throughout the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way. DR2 consists of observations that were obtained in 2022 covering the region of the CMZ extending roughly from the Brick to the Sgr C molecular clouds (corresponding to a roughly 1$^{\circ}$ $\times$ 0.75$^{\circ}$ region of the sky). We combine DR2 with the first FIREPLACE data release to obtain full coverage of the CMZ (a 1.5$^{\circ}$ $\times$0.75$^{\circ}$ region of the sky). After applying total and polarized intensity significance cuts on the full FIREPLACE data set we obtain $\rm\sim$65,000 Nyquist-sampled polarization pseudovectors. The distribution of polarization pseudovectors confirms a bimodal distribution in the CMZ magnetic field orientations, recovering field components that are oriented predominantly parallel or perpendicular to the Galactic plane. These magnetic field orientations indicate possible connections between the previously observed parallel and perpendicular distributions. We also inspect the magnetic fields toward a set of prominent CMZ molecular clouds (the Brick, Three Little Pigs, 50 km s$\rm^{-1}$, Circum-nuclear Disk, CO 0.02-0.02, 20 km s$\rm^{-1}$, and Sgr C), revealing spatially varying magnetic fields that generally trace the morphologies of the clouds. We find evidence that compression from stellar winds and shear from tidal forces are prominent mechanisms influencing the structure of the magnetic fields observed within the clouds.
