Summary The GBT can be used as a Zeeman detector Apparent HI self-absorption samples the molecular component of the filament LOS B field measured in emission changes sign across axis of filament –Detections consistent with previous HI emission measurements: they were reliable! Field reverses within central half-degree of filament (~ 4.5 pc) Highest resolution data for modeling of helical magnetic field structure
