OH Zeeman Observations of Interstellar Dust Clouds,

Abstract

Zeeman splitting of OH emission lines in two dust clouds was measured. The upper limits on the Zeeman splitting indicate that the large scale magnetic fields are less than 50 microgauss, a value significantly less than that expected if the magnetic field is frozen in during collapse.
