Abstract

We have studied the structure of the three dimensional large-scale structure of the Galactic Magnetic field using the information given by the polarization measurements of the 5-year WMAP data at 22 GHz and the rotation measure of radio sources. A comparison of observational results and the maps predicted by several models with different free parameters is made using a maximum likelihood method, enable us to constrain the actual structure of the Galactic Magnetic Field.
