Scientific paper

The rotation measure data for extragalactic radio sources are used to estimate the value and direction of a large-scale galactic magnetic field in the Perseus spiral arm. The field with the value of |B| ≅ 3.2 μG lies in the galactic plane. It is directed along l ≅ 280° in the opposite direction compared to the magnetic field in the local Orion arm. Variance of the field is of the order of δB/B ≅ 1.4.
