Description

SKA has superb wavelength coverage allowing us to map the dependence of polarized intensity on wavelength in all four quadrants of edge-on galaxies. Systematic differences between the two sides of the rotation axis, and also between north and south, are indicative of magnetic helicity of a certain sign. I will present theoretical plots showing the anticipated dependence for different models.
