Magnetic field amplification in supernova remnants

Siyao Xu, Alex Lazarian

Based on the new findings on the turbulent dynamo in \citet{XL16}, we examine the magnetic field amplification in the context of supernova remnants. Due to the strong ion-neutral c…

Galactic Outflows by Alfvénic Poynting Flux: Application to Fermi Bubbles

Takeru K. Suzuki, Alex Lazarian

We investigate roles of magnetic activity in the Galactic bulge region in driving large-scale outflows of size kpc. Magnetic buoyancy and breakups of channel flows formed…

Strong Coupling of Alfvén and Fast Modes in Compressible Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in Magnetically-Dominated Plasmas

Makoto Takamoto, Alexandre Lazarian

In this paper, we report our detailed analysis of the new strong-coupling regime between Alfvén and fast modes in Poynting-dominated plasma turbulence, reported in our previous wor…

Tracing magnetic fields with spectroscopic channel maps

A. Lazarian, Ka Ho Yuen

We identify velocity channel map intensities as a new way to trace magnetic fields in turbulent media. This work makes use of both of the modern theory of MHD turbulence predicting…

Radiative grain alignment in protoplanetary disks: Implications for polarimetric observations

Ryo Tazaki, Alexandre Lazarian, Hideko Nomura

We apply the theory of radiative torque (RAT) alignment for studying protoplanetary disks around a T-Tauri star and perform 3D radiative transfer calculations to provide the expect…
