B-fields and Dust in Interstellar Filaments Using Dust Polarization (BALLAD-POL). II. Testing the Radiative Torque Paradigm in Musca and OMC-1 [PDF]
Astrophysical JournalPolarization of starlight and thermal dust emission caused by aligned dust grains is a valuable tool to characterize magnetic fields (B-fields) and constrain dust properties. However, the grain alignment physics is not fully understood.

On the universality of interstellar filaments: theory meets simulations and observations [PDF]
, 2015 Filaments are ubiquitous in the universe. Recent observations have revealed that stars and star clusters form preferentially along dense filaments. Understanding the formation and properties of filaments is therefore a crucial step in understanding star ...

Possible link between the power spectrum of interstellar filaments and the origin of the prestellar core mass function [PDF]
, 2015 A complete understanding of the origin of the prestellar core mass function (CMF) is crucial. Two major features of the prestellar CMF are 1) a broad peak below 1 M⊙, presumably corresponding to a mean gravitational fragmentation scale, and 2) a ...

Galactic interstellar filaments as probed by LOFAR and Planck [PDF]
, 2015 Recent Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) observations at 115-175 MHz of a field at medium Galactic latitudes (centred at the bright quasar 3C196) have shown striking filamentary structures in polarization that extend over more than 4° across the sky.

Feedback from young stars, the molecular signature of shocks and outflows [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Why do we study shocks ? Because they are there. Shocks are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium (ISM), where they constitute a major source of energy injection, together with photons and cosmic rays (CRs).
