Mechanical alignment of suprathermally rotating grains
A. Lazarian
It is shown that mechanical alignment of grains can be efficient for grains rotating suprathermally, i.e. with kinetic energy substantially exceeding (the Boltzmann constant) o…

GRAIN ALIGNMENT IN THE TAURUS DARK CLOUD
P. A. Gerakines, D. C. B. Whittet
Variations in polarization efficiency (p/A) of interstellar grains as a function of environment place vital constraints on models for the mechanism of their alignment. We use polar…
