Characterizing the Uncertainty in Cluster Magnetic Fields Derived from Rotation Measures

Magnetic fields play vital roles in intracluster media (ICMs), but estimating their strengths and distributions from observations is a major challenge. Faraday rotation measures (RMs) are widely applied to this task, so it is critical to understand inherent uncertainties in RM analysis. In this pape...
