The starburst galaxy NGC1808: another M82?

Abstract

An optical polarization map of the starburst galaxy NGC1808 shows that on kpc scales there is a coherent galactic magnetic field which follows the spiral arms on the galaxy. The inner 750pc surrounding the central region shows characteristics of a huge reflection nebula illuminated by the various hotspots within the starburst. This is very similar to the archetypal starburst galaxy M82.
