Bertrang (MPIA)\nFrom a theoretical point -of-view\, magnetic fields are crucial to the evolution of planet-forming disks. However\, profound observational constraints are pending. Presently \, the number of cutting-edge polarization observations presenting inconcl usive data increases continuously. In very recent years\, polarization at mm-wavelengths\, the classical tracer of magnetic fields\, emerged as high ly ambiguous\, and the pressing demand for comprehensive tools to analyze these new observations is growing.\n\nI will present an overview on the so urces of continuum polarization with focus on the impact of grain alignmen t\, scattering\, and grain porosity on the polarization measurement – as well as a potential solution to this dusty ambiguousness\, linearly polar ized gas emission.\n\nhttps://meetings.aip.de/event/1/contributions/10/ LOCATION:Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) Lecture Hall URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/1/contributions/10/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
