The JCMT BISTRO Survey: The Magnetic Field Strength in the Orion A Filament

The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope is operated by the East Asian Observatory on behalf of The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, the National Astronomical Observatories of China, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Grant No. XDB09000000), with additional funding support from the Science and Technology Facilities Council of the United Kingdom and participating universities in the United Kingdom and Canada. The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope has historically been operated by the Joint Astronomy Centre on behalf of the Science and Technology Facilities Council of the United Kingdom, the National Research Council of Canada, and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research. Additional funds for the construction of SCUBA-2 and POL-2 were provided by the Canada Foundation for Innovation. The data used in this paper were taken under project codes M16AL004, M15BEC02, and MJLSG32. K.P. and D.W.T. would like to acknowledge support from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) under grant numbers ST/K002023/1 and ST/M000877/1 while this research was carried out. Partial salary support for A.P. was provided by a Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) National Fellowship. C.W.L. and W.K. were supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (C.W.L.: NRF-2016R1A2B4012593) and the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning (W.K.: NRF-2016R1C1B2013642). J.C.M. acknowledges support from the European Research Council under the European Community's Horizon 2020 framework program (2014–2020) via the ERC Consolidator grant "From Cloud to Star Formation (CSF)" (project number 648505). S.P.L. is thankful for the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) of Taiwan through grant Nos. 105-2119-M-007-024 and 106-2119-M-007-021-MY3. K.Q. acknowledges the support from National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) through grant Nos. NSFC 11473011 and NSFC 11590781.The Starlink software (Currie et al. 2014) is supported by the East Asian Observatory. This research used the services of the Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomy Research (CANFAR) which in turn is supported by CANARIE, Compute Canada, University of Victoria, the National Research Council of Canada, and the Canadian Space Agency. This research used the facilities of the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre operated by the National Research Council of Canada with the support of the Canadian Space Agency. This research has made use of the NASA Astrophysics Data System. The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Maunakea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain.
