Shih-Ping Lai, Meng-Zhe Yang, Janik Karoly, BISTRO team

We present new magnetic field measurements toward the Brick. Our data are obtained through the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) B-Fields In Star-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey with the POL-2 instrument. We analyze the energy budget and access the relative importance of the magnetic fields and the turbulence for star formation.
