Alignment of irregular grains by radiative torques: efficiency study
Joonas Herranen, A. Lazarian, Thiem Hoang
We study the efficiency of grain alignment by radiative torques (RATs) for an ensemble of irregular grains. The grains are modeled as ensembles of oblate and prolate spheroids, def…

Rotational Disruption of Nonspherical Cometary Dust Particles by Radiative Torques
Joonas Herranen
Rigorous statistical numerical analysis of the response of a nonspherical dust particle ensemble composed of aggregates of astronomical silicate is presented. It is found that the…

Radiative torques of irregular grains: Describing the alignment of a grain ensemble
Joonas Herranen, Alex Lazarian, Thiem Hoang
The radiative torque (RAT) mechanism is the most promising way of explaining observed polarization arising from aligned grains. We explore the efficiency of the grain alignment by…
