Description we wish to explore the detailed interactions among magnetic fields, cosmic rays and dust on scales of single gmc complexes in the sw arms of m31. an analysis of dust properties and the dust/gas correlations will be performed. the fir/radio correlation will be analyzed focusing on the influence of interstellar magnetic fields. a direct observation of polarized fir radiation from dust will be made in order to a) compare the polarization angles of dust with those of radio synchroton emission; b) obtain an empirical relation between field strength and the degree of dust polarization empirically; c) to look for evidence for ferromagnetic grains in the interstellar dust.

Mission Description The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the worlds first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
