Maps of the total intensity (contour) and orientation of the magnetic field (white bars) of the C (left) and X (right) bands of NGC 3627. The background is a black-and-white image of DSS2 B (McLean et al. 2000). The orientation of the magnetic field was obtained by rotating the observed polarization plane by 90°. The white lines are plotted every 7″ in the C band and 5″ in the X band, by considering the spatial resolution. The beam is drawn at the lower left of each map, the beam sizes being |${13{^{\prime \prime }_{.}}5}$| and |${11{^{\prime \prime }_{.}}0}$|, respectively. The contour intervals are (3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96) × 66 μJy beam−1, (3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96) × 27 μJy beam−1.
