Abstract

We present observations of the high mass star forming region S88B taken with the VLA with the aim of measuring magnetic fields via the Zeeman effect. By observing thermal absorption lines of OH at 1665 and 1667 MHz, we obtain magnetic fields between 90 and 210 G. We find these magnetic fields to be dynamically significant in this region.
