Slide with title "B-field is parallel to the galactic outflow." On the left is a composite image of starburst galaxy M82, which looks like a blue disk with a red turbulent outflow perpendicular to the disk. An inset zooms in on the center of this galaxy, showing a magnetic field map with blurred lines that are parallel to the direction of the outflow (i.e., perpendicular from the disk). Inset has caption "HAWC+/SOFIA, 53 microns" and image credit "Jones et al. (2019)." The slide has a small caption on the bottom left that reads "Beam size 4.8 arcsec, 9.6 pc."
