Interstellar Scintillations of Polarization of Compact Sources
Mikhail V. Medvedev
We demostrate that the measurement of fluctuations of polarization due to the galactic interstellar scintillations may be used to study the structure of the radiation field at comp…

Axisymmetric Self-Similar Equilibria of Self-Gravitating Isothermal Systems
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Ramesh Narayan
All axisymmetric self-similar equilibria of self-gravitating, rotating, isothermal systems are identified by solving the nonlinear Poisson equation analytically. There are two fami…

Generation of Magnetic Fields in the Relativistic Shock of Gamma-Ray-Burst Sources
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Abraham Loeb
We show that the relativistic two-stream instability can naturally generate strong magnetic fields with 1e-5 - 1e-1 of the equipartition energy density, in the collisionless shocks…
