Magnetic Fields in Low-Mass Star Forming Regions: Alignment to Jets/Outflows?

Abstract
We present results of an analysis of the alignment of the large scale magnetic field direction to the jet/outflow direction for the largest sample (to date) of low-mass star-forming regions observed using submillimetre polarimetry. Cumulative distribution functions of the difference between the mean position angles of the field vectors and the jet/outflow axis reveal no correlation. However, visual inspection of the maps reveal alignment in 4 out of the 8 low-mass regions.
