Scientific paper

The results of a search for evidence of the presence of an enhanced magnetic field which might be associated with the giant, 20-deg-diameter Monogem ring in Gemini-Monoceros are reported. From polarization observations made earlier, the Faraday rotation measure is computed for distant sources shining through the ring to compare with the distant sources along lines of sight adjacent to the ring. The rotation measures are consistent with a shell model for the Monogem ring with a mean rotation measure of 25 rad/sq m above the surrounding background. This 'magnetic bubble' is the fourth to be found near the sun, after the North Polar Spur, the Cetus Arc, and the Gum Nebula.
