Is the recently discovered large scale filamentary feature Cattail in the cold or unstable phase?

Ka Ho Yuen, Avi Chen, Ka Wai Ho +1

A recent publication (Li et al. 2021) discovered one of the largest filamentary neutral hydrogen features dubbed Cattail from high resolution FAST observations that might be a new…

Shock acceleration with oblique and turbulent magnetic fields

Siyao Xu, Alex Lazarian

We investigate shock acceleration in a realistic astrophysical environment with density inhomogeneities. The turbulence induced by the interaction of the shock precursor with upstr…

Superdiffusion of Cosmic Rays in Compressible Magnetized Turbulence

Yue Hu, A. Lazarian, Siyao Xu

Owing to the complexity of turbulent magnetic fields, modeling the diffusion of cosmic rays is challenging. Based on the current understanding of anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic (M…

How the existence of unstable neutral media restricts the aspect ratio of cold neutral media?

Ka Wai Ho, Ka Ho Yuen, Alex Lazarian

The ubiquity of very thin and lengthy cold neutral media (CNM) has been reported by multiple authors in the HI community. Yet, the reason of how the CNM can be so long and lengthy…

Grain alignment and rotational disruption by radiative torques in exoplanet atmospheres

Thiem Hoang, A. Lazarian

Dust clouds are ubiquitous in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters and affect their observable properties. The alignment of dust grains in the clouds and resulting dust polarization is…
