Probing the cold magnetized Universe with SPICA-POL (B-BOP)
Ph. André, A. Hughes, V. Guillet +53
SPICA, the cryogenic infrared space telescope recently pre-selected for a `Phase A' concept study as one of the three remaining candidates for ESA's fifth medium class (M5) mission…
A new method for probing magnetic field strengths from striations in the interstellar medium
Aris Tritsis, Christoph Federrath, Nicola Schneider +1
Recent studies of the diffuse parts of molecular clouds have revealed the presence of parallel, ordered low-density filaments termed striations. Flows along magnetic field lines, K…
Magnetic field tomography in two clouds towards Ursa Major using HI fibers
Aris Tritsis, Christoph Federrath, Vasiliki Pavlidou
The atomic interstellar medium (ISM) is observed to be full of linear structures that are referred to as "fibers". Fibers exhibit similar properties to linear structures found in m…
Python Radiative Transfer Emission code (PyRaTE): non-LTE spectral lines simulations
Aris Tritsis, Harold W. Yorke, Konstantinos Tassis
We describe PyRaTE, a new, non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) line radiative transfer code developed specifically for post-processing astrochemical simulations. Populati…
Magnetic Seismology of Interstellar Gas Clouds: Unveiling a Hidden Dimension
Aris Tritsis, Konstantinos Tassis
Stars and planets are formed inside dense interstellar molecular clouds, by processes imprinted on the 3-dimensional (3D) morphology of the clouds. Determining the 3D structure of…
Magnetic Field - Gas Density Relation and Observational Implications Revisited
A. Tritsis, G. V. Panopoulou, T. Ch. Mouschovias +2
We revisit the relation between magnetic-field strength () and gas density () for contracting interstellar clouds and fragments (or, cores), which is central in observational…
