• CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan (2019, background): “By studying the linearly-polarized radiation from dust grains, which tend to align with respect to their local magnetic field [456], CMB-S4 will create highly-detailed (< 1pc resolution) maps of the magnetic field morphology for nearly a thousand molecular clouds.”
• The Quest for B Modes from Inflationary Gravitational Waves (2015, background): “…from asymmetric dust grains in the interstellar medium, which align themselves with the Galactic magnetic field, induces a strong polarization signal, which depends on the composition, shape and size of the grains (Draine & Fraisse 2009; Martin 1971; Ali-Haimoud 2013; Andersson et al. 2015).”
