Basic Properties of Compressible MHD Turbulence: Implications for Molecular Clouds
A. Lazarian, J. Cho
Recent advances in understanding of the basic properties of compressible Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence call for revisions of some of the generally accepted concepts. First,…
Magnetic Field Structure and Stochastic Reconnection in a Partially Ionized Gas
A. Lazarian, E. T. Vishniac, J. Cho
We consider stochastic reconnection in a magnetized, partially ionized medium. Stochastic reconnection is a generic effect, due to field line wandering, in which the speed of recon…
Ordinary and Viscosity-Damped MHD Turbulence
Jungyeon Cho, A. Lazarian, Ethan T. Vishniac
We compare the properties of ordinary strong magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in a strongly magnetized medium with the recently discovered viscosity-damped regime. We focus on…
Statistics of Velocity from Spectral Data: Modified Velocity Centroids
A. Lazarian, A. Esquivel
We address the problem of studying interstellar turbulence using spectral line data. We find a criterion when the velocity centroids may provide trustworthy velocity statistics. To…
Thermal Conduction in Magnetized Turbulent Gas
J. Cho, A. Lazarian, A. Honein +3
Using numerical methods, we systematically study in the framework of ideal MHD the effect of magnetic fields on heat transfer within a turbulent gas. We measure the rates of passiv…
