Intensity Gradients Technique: Synergy with Velocity Gradients and Polarization Studies

Yue Hu, Ka Ho Yuen, Alex Lazarian

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium but are notoriously difficult to study through observation. Making use of the advances in our understanding of MHD turbule…

On the formation of density filaments in the turbulent interstellar medium

Siyao Xu, Suoqing Ji, A. Lazarian

This study is motivated by recent observations on ubiquitous interstellar density filaments and guided by modern theories of compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. The…

The far-infrared polarization spectrum of Rho Ophiuchi A from HAWC+/SOFIA observations

Fabio P. Santos, David T. Chuss, C. Darren Dowell +23

We report on polarimetric maps made with HAWC+/SOFIA toward Rho Oph A, the densest portion of the Rho Ophiuchi molecular complex. We employed HAWC+ bands C (89 m) and D (154 …

Tracing Multi-Scale Magnetic Field Structure Using Multiple Chemical Tracers in Giant Molecular Clouds

Yue Hu, Ka Ho Yuen, A. Lazarian +3

Probing magnetic fields in Giant Molecular Clouds is often challenging. Fortunately, recently simulations show that analysis of velocity gradients (the Velocity Gradient Technique)…

Studying Magnetic Fields in Star Formation and the Turbulent Interstellar Medium

Laura Fissel, Charles L. H. Hull, Susan E. Clark +10

Understanding the physics of how stars form is a highly-prioritized goal of modern Astrophysics, in part because star formation is linked to both galactic dynamics on large scales…
