MC-BLOS For Next-Generation Radio Observations

Mehrnoosh's group developed the MC-BLOS software to automatically determine line-of-sight magnetic fields (B_los) of molecular clouds using the MC-BLOS technique. The software is open-source and available on GitHub, and is designed for next-generation radio observations, including those from the Square Kilometre Array (SKA).

BLOSMapping

The BLOSMapping software complements MC-BLOS by offering more flexibility in selecting OFF points. It serves as an earlier version of our current tools. BLOSMapping is accessible through the Astrophysics Source Code Library and GitHub.
