Abstract

New interstellar magnetic field measurements in the bar region of the galaxy NGC1097 are presented by Beck and colleagues, inferring direction of glass flow and location of gas compression regions. They suggest that magnetic stress could be an effective mechanism for fuelling central black holes of active galactic nuclei. The observed change in pitch angle of the magnetic field lines in the central region could be optimal for further gas inflows as a result of magnetic stress.
