Alignment of Dust by Radiative Torque: Recent Developments
A. Lazarian, Thiem Hoang
Alignment of dust by radiative torques (RATs) has proven to be the most promising mechanism to explain alignment in various astrophysical environments, from comet atmospheres to ac…

Radiative torques alignment in the presence of pinwheel torques
T. Hoang, A. Lazarian
We study the alignment of grains subject to both radiative torques and pinwheel torques while accounting for thermal flipping of grains. By pinwheel torques we refer to all systema…

Radiative torque alignment: Essential Physical Processes
Thiem Hoang, Alex Lazarian
We study the physical processes that affect the alignment of grains subject to radiative torques (RATs). To describe the action of RATs, we use the analytical model (AMO) of RATs i…
