Noncollinear antiferromagnets can have additional spin Hall effects due to the net chirality of their magnetic spin structure, which provides for more complex spin-transport phenomena compared to ordinary nonmagnetic materials. Here we investigated how ferromagnetic resonance of permalloy (${\mathrm{Ni}}_{80}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{20}$) is modulated by spin Hall effects in adjacent epitaxial ${\mathrm{IrMn}}_{3}$ films. We observe a large dc modulation of the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth for currents applied along the [001] ${\mathrm{IrMn}}_{3}$ direction. This very strong angular dependence of spin-orbit torques from dc currents through the bilayers can be explained by the magnetic spin Hall effect where ${\mathrm{IrMn}}_{3}$ provides novel pathways for modulating magnetization dynamics electrically.
