Magnetic fields around BOK globules: CCD polarimetry of CB 4 The small Bok globule CB 4 was probed using a CCD imaging polarimeter inorder to create a detailed map of the magnetic field associated withthis cloud. Stars as faint as 17th mag at V band were measuredpolarimetrically with uncertainties less than 1%. Sky transmissionvariations were minimized via a system of synchronous polaroid rotationand bidirectional charge shifting. In all, 80 stars behind the peripheryof the globule were accurately analyzed polarimetrically. Thelarge-scale (1-2 pc) magnetic field direction around CB 4 was found tobe very uniform (P.A. = 63.3 deg +/- 1.1 deg). Double-Gaussian fittingof the polarization position angle histogram gave a dispersion of 10 degabout the primary field direction. Possible field-line compression wasfound inward of approximately 0.2 pc from the cloud center. Noappreciable twisting of field lines was found. By plotting stellarseparations against differences of polarization angles, CB 4 was foundto have a magnetic field decorrelation length of approximately 0.1 pc,similar to the size of the visually opaque cire, but much smaller thanthe size of the bright optical rim or CO half-power contour ofapproximately 0.5 pc. The magnetic field decorrelation length may berelated to a characteristic transient clumping size, or perhaps even toclumps of a more permanent nature.
