Misalignment of Magnetic Fields and Outflows in Protostellar Cores
  We present results of 1.3 mm dust polarization observations toward 16 nearby,
low-mass protostars, mapped with ~2.5" resolution at CARMA. The results show
that magnetic fields in protostellar cores on scales of ~1000 AU are not
tightly aligned with outflows from the protostars. Rather, the data are
consistent with scenarios where outflows and magnetic fields are preferentially
misaligned (perpendicular), or where they are randomly aligned. If one assumes
that outflows emerge along the rotation axes of circumstellar disks, and that
the outflows have not disrupted the fields in the surrounding material, then
our results imply that the disks are not aligned with the fields in the cores
from which they formed.
