Turbulent Structure in Supernova Remnants G46.8−0.3 and G39.2−0.3 from THOR Polarimetry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present the continued analysis of polarization and Faraday rotation for the supernova remnants (SNRs) G46.8−0.3 and G39.2−0.3 in L-band (1–2 GHz) radio continuum in The H i/OH/Recombination line (THOR) survey. In this work, we present our investigation of Faraday depth fluctuations from angular scales comparable to the size of the SNRs down to scales less than our 16″ beam (≲0.7 pc) from Faraday dispersion (σ ϕ ). From THOR, we find median σ ϕ of 15.9 ± 3.2 rad m−2 for G46.8−0.3 and 17.6 ± 1.6 rad m−2 for G39.2−0.3. When comparing to polarization at 6 cm, we find evidence for σ ϕ ≳ 30 rad m−2 in localized regions where we detect no polarization in THOR. We combine Faraday depth dispersion with the rotation measure (RM) structure function (SF) and find evidence for a break in the SF on scales less than the THOR beam. We estimate the RM SF of the foreground interstellar medium using the SF of extragalactic radio sources and pulsars to find that the RM fluctuations we measure originate within the SNRs for all but the largest angular scales.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
