Theoretical expectations for magnetic field measurements in molecular cloud cores
F. Heitsch, P. S. Li
The currently most viable methods to estimate magnetic field strengths in molecular cloud cores are Zeeman measurements and the Chandrasekhar-Fermi (CF) method. The CF-method estim…
Numerical Simulations of Magnetic Fields in Astrophysical Turbulence
Ellen G. Zweibel, Fabian Heitsch, Yuhong Fan
The generation and evolution of astrophysical magnetic fields occurs largely through the action of turbulence. In many situations, the magnetic field is strong enough to influence…
The distribution of shock waves in driven supersonic turbulence
Michael D. Smith, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Fabian Heitsch
Supersonic turbulence generates distributions of shock waves. Here, we analyse the shock waves in three-dimensional numerical simulations of uniformly driven supersonic turbulence,…
The metal-rich globular clusters of the Milky Way
F. Heitsch, T. Richtler
We present new (V,V-I)-photometry of the metal-rich globular clusters NGC 5927, 6316, 6342, 6441 and 6760. The clusters show differential reddening up to dE(V-I)=0.32 mag, for whic…
