The Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) is an HI and 1.4-GHz continuum survey of the 4th quadrant of the Galaxy at arcmin resolution. We present here results on linearly polarized continuum emission from an initial 28-square-degree Test Region for the SGPS, consisting of 190 mosaiced pointings of the Australia Telescope Compact Array, and covering the range 325.5 < l < 332.5, -0.5 < b < +3.5. Complicated extended structure is seen in linear polarization throughout the Test Region, almost all of which has no correlation with total intensity. We interpret the brightest regions of polarized emission as representing intrinsic structure in extended polarization, most likely originating in the Crux spiral arm at a distance of 3.5 kpc; fainter polarized structure is imposed by Faraday rotation in foreground material. Two large areas in the field are devoid of polarization. We argue that these voids are produced by foreground HII regions in which the magnetic field is disordered on scales of ~0.1-0.2 pc. We also identify a depolarized halo around the HII region RCW 94, which we suggest results from the interaction of the HII region with a surrounding molecular cloud.

Magnetised CGM Gas at z~1 revealed by SPICE-RACS
A 4.5σ excess RM dispersion of 4.13 ± 0.91 rad m^{-2} is found in 191 Mg II sightlines versus controls, implying model-dependent CGM magnetic fields of 0.4-0.8 μG at projected radii 20-150 kpc and z~1.14.

The VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project: Polarised source counts and catalogue
Deep 3 GHz polarised source counts detect 65 sources (51 deg^{-2}), consistent with 1.4 GHz literature due to spectral index and depolarisation, with a 2σ upper limit of <2.0 deg^{-2} on polarised SFG density.
