Magnetic field strength estimates for CMZ clouds, assuming equipartition between magnetic pressure and ram pressure (see text in Sect. 5.3).

Cloud		δv_LOS	B_equ
	(cm⁻³)	(km s⁻¹)	(mG)
Sgr B2	5.0	20	3.9–5.8
50 km s⁻¹	4.5	10	0.3–1.7
20 km s⁻¹	4.3	10	0.5–1.2
Brick	4.2	5	0.2–0.5

Notes. The range of values quoted for B_equ corresponds to varying the angle between B and the LOS in the range 0° < ζ < 90°.
