Dust continuum maps of the L43 region. Black lines indicate the polarization vectors. The vectors are rotated by 90° to indicate the magnetic field direction and are binned to the same 12″ grid. Black contour lines mark regions where the flux has doubled. White dashed ellipses show the two regions of interest that are referred to throughout this work. The effective beam size of each instrument is indicated with a red circle. Left: 154 μm continuum emission (SOFIA/HAWC+). Top right: 450 μm continuum emission (SCUBA-2/POL-2). Bottom right: 850 μm continuum emission (SCUBA-2/POL-2).
