Model of Reconnection of Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Field and its Testing
A. Lazarian, E. Vishniac, G. Kowal
Astrophysical fluids are generically turbulent, which means that frozen-in magnetic fields are, at least, weakly stochastic. Therefore realistic studies of astrophysical magnetic r…
Studying ISM magnetic fields and turbulent regimes from polarimetric maps
D. Falceta-Goncalves, A. Lazarian, G. Kowal
Polarimeric maps have been used on the characterization of the magnetic field in molecular clouds. However, it is difficult to determine the 3-dimensional properties of these regio…
Model of Reconnection of Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Field and its Implications
A. Lazarian, E. Vishniac
We discuss the model of magnetic field reconnection in the presence of turbulence introduced by us approximately ten years ago. The model does not require any plasma effects to be…
Numerical Studies of Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Reconnection
G. Kowal, A. Lazarian, E. T. Vishniac +1
We study the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection using three-dimensional numerical simulations. This is the first attempt to test a model of fast magnetic reconnection p…
Statistics of Galactic Synchrotron and Dust Foregrounds: Spectra, PDFs and Higher-Order Moments
Jungyeon Cho, A. Lazarian
We present statistical analysis of diffuse Galactic synchrotron emission and polarized thermal emission from dust. Both Galactic synchrotron emission and polarized thermal emission…
Grain Alignment by Radiative Torques
A. Lazarian
Grain alignment is a notoriously difficult problem, that is extremely rich in underlying physics. The long history of attempts theoretical handling of the problem resulted in rathe…
