Description

Full Stokes polarisation measurements of a sample of star-forming regions have been observed in the C-band with the Green Bank 100m telescope. Results of the polarisation properties of the detected 4.7 and 6.0 GHz excited OH masers will be reported, and what can be inferred about the magnetic fields in these regions. Besides the masers, there is also some thermal emission from some of these regions which has not been reported before.
