Polarization from aligned atoms as a diagnostics of circumstellar, AGN and interstellar magnetic fields: II. Atoms with Hyperfine Structure
Huirong Yan, A. Lazarian
We show that atomic alignment presents a reliable way to study topology of astrophysical magnetic fields. The effect of atomic alignment arises from modulation of the relative popu…
Polarization of absorption lines as a diagnostics of circumstellar, interstellar and intergalactic magnetic fields: Fine structure atoms
Huirong Yan, A. Lazarian
The relative population of the fine structure sublevels of an atom's ground state is affected by radiative transitions induced by an anisotropic radiation flux. This causes the ali…
Turbulence Spectra from Spectral Lines: Tests of the Velocity Channel Analysis and Velocity Coordinate Spectrum Techniques
A. Chepurnov, A. Lazarian
Turbulence is a key element of the dynamics of astrophysical fluids, including those of interstellar medium, clusters of galaxies and circumstellar regions. Turbulent motions induc…
Grain Alignment, Polarization and Magnetic Fields
A. Lazarian
Aligned non-spherical dust particles polarize starlight passing through the dust cloud. They also emit polarized far infrared and sub-mm radiation. Substantial progress in understa…
Theoretical approaches to particle propagation and acceleration in turbulent intergalactic medium
A. Lazarian
Intercluster medium is expected to be turbulent with turbulence being superAlfvenic at large scales. Magnetic fields substantially modify the turbulent cascade when the turbulence…
Density Fluctuations in MHD Turbulence: Spectra, Intermittency and Topology
G. Kowal, A. Lazarian, A. Beresnyak
We perform three-dimensional (3D) compressible MHD simulations over many dynamical times for an extended range of sonic and Alfven Mach numbers and analyze the statistics of 3D den…
