  14. Summary • The GBT can be used as a Zeeman detector • Apparent HI self-absorption samples the molecular component of the filament • LOS B field measured in emission changes sign across axis of filament • Detections consistent with previous HI emission measurements: they were reliable! • Field reverses within central half-degree of filament (~ 4.5 pc) • Highest resolution data for modeling of helical magnetic field structure
