Titel: Magnetic Fields in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium

Zusammenfassung: Even though the interstellar medium (ISM) of star-forming galaxies has been known to have a multiphase structure (broadly hot, warm, and cold phases) since the 1970s, how magnetic fields differ between the ISM phases is still unknown. Using a combination of theory, simulations, and observations, this talk explores how the multiphase nature of the ISM shapes magnetic fields. In particular, using Zeeman magnetic field measurements and pulsar observations, the relationship between the turbulent kinetic and magnetic energy densities will be established. The findings from these studies will enhance our understanding of the role of magnetic fields in star formation and galaxy evolution, and also prepare us to harness the upcoming wealth of radio polarisation data from the SKA.
