Abstract

In my thesis work, I have tried to understand the relative importance of the mag-
netic fields in the regions such as starless/prestellar cores, cores with low-mass and
sub-stellar mass objects, and the triggered star forming regions. To arrive at a statisti-
cally significant conclusion of this study, I want to increase the sample of these regions.
A detailed study of magnetic field maps towards cometary globules (CGs) L331 and
L323 in the vicinity of L328 is planned. We have already studied the magnetic fields
in L328. The above mentioned two objects L331 and L323 are similar to L328. So we
need to observe them to understand the magnetic field morphology in the entire region.
I also want to investigate the magnetic field variation in the filamentary clouds which is
quite a new and interesting project. This will give us an insight into the understanding
of the role of magnetic fields in the the cores forming along the filamentary molecular
cloud structures. In addition, I would complete the project started to understand the
characteristics of the photoionised gas from the two nebulae Sim 129 and Sim 130 in
open cluster NGC 1893. The radio observations in 610 and 1300 MHz frequencies have
already been conducted using GMRT. This study will help us in understanding the
photoionsed flow from the surface of the bright-rimmed cloud (BRCs) in the vicinity
of the high mass stars. NGC 1893 is a interesting region containing five O type stars
present in the neighborhood of two above mentioned nebulae. The preliminary results
obtained by us suggest that the ionized gas is flowing along the magnetic field lines.
These results are obtained based onto the 610 MHz observations. More elaborated and
detailed results are expected from the 1300 MHz observations.
