Cosmic ray transport in MHD turbulence
Huirong Yan, A. Lazarian
Numerical simulations shed light onto earlier not trackable problem of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. They allowed to test the predictions of different models and choose the…
The Efficiency of Grain Alignment in Dense Interstellar Clouds: A Reassessment of Constraints from Near Infrared Polarization
D. C. B. Whittet, J. H. Hough, A. Lazarian +1
A detailed study of interstellar polarization efficiency toward molecular clouds is used to attempt discrimination between grain alignment mechanisms in dense regions of the ISM. B…
Topology of Neutral Hydrogen Within the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Chepurnov, A. Lazarian, J. Gordon +1
In this paper, genus statistics have been applied to an HI column density map of the Small Magellanic Cloud in order to study its topology. To learn how topology changes with the s…
Atomic alignment and Diagnostics of Magnetic Fields in Diffuse Media
Huirong Yan, A. Lazarian
We continue our studies of atomic alignment in diffuse media, in particularly, in interstellar and circumstellar media, with the goal of developing new diagnostics of magnetic fiel…
Aspects of Density Fluctuations in Compressible MHD Turbulence
Grzegorz Kowal, A. Lazarian
We study scaling relations of compressible isothermal strongly magnetized turbulence using numerical simulations with resolution 512. We find a good correspondence of our resul…
Radiative torques: Analytical Model and Basic Properties
Alex Lazarian, Thiem Hoang
We attempt to get a physical insight into grain alignment processes by studying basic properties of radiative torques (RATs). For this purpose we consider a simple toy model of a h…
