Detection of Void-Core Faraday Suppression with the LoTSS DR2 RM Grid

This dataset accompanies the first empirical test of the Ingress-Dimensional Interaction Hypothesis (IDIH): measuring differences in Faraday Rotation between the cores and walls of cosmic voids. We use the LoTSS DR2 Rotation Measure Grid (2,461 polarised sources) cross-matched with the SDSS DR12 Consolidated Void Catalogue (~770 voids) and subtract the Galactic foreground using the Oppermann et al. (2015) Faraday map. Sources are assigned to void cores, walls, and control annuli scaled by void radius. Results show that void cores exhibit systematically lower |RM| than void walls:Δ|RM| (Core − Wall) = –0.21 ± 0.27 rad m⁻². The effect is modest in amplitude but robust across multiple tests: bootstrap resampling (95% CI entirely negative), jackknife sky sectors, wall annulus variations, and scrambled nulls. This constitutes the first observational evidence of void-core Faraday suppression, directly consistent with IDIH predictions of magneto-ionic thinning in underdense regions. The deposit includes: Input catalogues (LoTSS RM, Galactic template, DR12 voids). Processed outputs (annulus means, Δ|RM| vs z, radial profiles, robustness tests). Four reproducibility notebooks (Google Colab, Python/Jupyter). Full README with references and instructions. Citation: Pyatt, J. (2025).
