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…
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…
Studies of regular and random magnetic fields in the ISM: statistics of polarization vectors and the Chandrasekhar-Fermi technique
D. Falceta-Goncalves, A. Lazarian, G. Kowal
Polarimetry is extensively used as a tool to trace the interstellar magnetic field projected on the plane of sky. Moreover, it is also possible to estimate the magnetic field inten…
Aspects of Density Fluctuations in Compressible MHD Turbulence
Grzegorz Kowal, A. Lazarian
We study scaling relations of compressible isothermal strongly magnetized turbulence using numerical simulations with resolution 512. We find a good correspondence of our resul…
A Comparative Study of Velocity Statistics of Hydrodynamic and Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Nicholas Hall, G. Kowal, A. Lazarian +1
Turbulence in an incompressible fluid with and without a magnetic field as well as moderately compressible MHD turbulence are compared. For the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models the…
