Estimated properties of small-scale magnetic fields and thermal electron densities in the SMC and LMC. The columns are as follows: 1) cloud name, 2) correlation length of the small-scale magnetic field, ℓ(b), 3) average small-scale magnetic field strength, brms, 4) slope of the magnetic field power spectrum, α in |$\mathcal {P}_{k}(b) \sim k^{-\alpha }$|⁠, and 5) slope of the thermal electron density power spectrum, γ in |$\mathcal {P}_{k}(n_{\rm e}) \sim k^{-\gamma }$|⁠.
