A model of acceleration of Anomalous Cosmic Rays by Reconnection in the Heliosheath
A. Lazarian, M. Opher
We discuss a model of cosmic ray acceleration that accounts for the observations of anomalous cosmic rays by Voyager 1 and 2. The model appeals to fast magnetic reconnection rather…
Numerical Tests of Fast Reconnection in Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Fields
G. Kowal, A. Lazarian, E. T. Vishniac +1
We study the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection using 3D numerical simulations. This is the first attempt to test a model of fast magnetic reconnection in the presence…
Structure of Stationary Strong Imbalanced Turbulence
A. Beresnyak, A. Lazarian
In this paper we systematically study the spectrum and structure of incompressible MHD turbulence by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. We considered both balan…
Simulations of Electron Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Jungyeon Cho, A. Lazarian
We present numerical simulations of electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) and electron reduced MHD (ERMHD) turbulence. Comparing scaling relations, we find that both EMHD and ERMHD t…
Quantitative Theory of Grain Alignment: Probing Grain Environment and Grain Composition
A. Lazarian
While the problem of grain alignment was posed more than 60 years ago the quantitative model of grain alignment that can account for the observed polarization arising from aligned…
Plasma Physics Processes of the Interstellar Medium
Steven Spangler, Marijke Haverkorn, Thomas Intrator +4
We discuss the outstanding issues of the interstellar medium which will depend on the application of knowledge from plasma physics. We particularly advocate attention to recent dev…
