Interstellar Turbulence I: Observations and Processes

open access: yes, 2004
This two-part review summarizes interstellar turbulence and its implications. The first part begins with diagnostics and energy sources. Turbulence theory is considered in detail, including the basic fluid equations, solenoidal and compressible modes ...

The Huge Magnetic Toroids in the Milky Way Halo

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The magnetic fields in our Milky Way can be revealed by the distribution of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of radio sources behind the Galaxy and of radio pulsars inside the Galaxy. Based on the antisymmetry of the Faraday sky in the inner Galaxy to the

Kinetic theory of interstellar density and magnetic field fluctuations. Relations between interstellar density and magnetic field fluctuations

open access: yes, 2002
Using linear kinetic plasma theory the relation between electron density and magnetic field fluctuations for low-frequency plasma waves for Maxwellian background distribution functions of arbitrary temperatures in an uniform magnetic field is derived.

LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MAGNETIC FIELD DETERMINED FROM THE INTERSTELLAR BOUNDARY EXPLORER RIBBON

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016
ABSTRACT The solar wind emanating from the Sun interacts with the local interstellar medium (LISM), forming the heliosphere. Hydrogen energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) produced by the solar-interstellar interaction carry important information about plasma properties from the boundaries of the heliosphere, and are currently being measured by

Magnetic Field Amplification Associated with the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability

open access: yes, 2012
The amplification of a magnetic field due to the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) is investigated by two-dimensional MHD simulations. Single-mode analysis is adopted to reveal definite relation between the nonlinear evolution of RMI and the field ...

INTERSTELLAR MAGNETIC FIELD SURROUNDING THE HELIOPAUSE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
This paper presents a three-dimensional analytical solution, in the limit of very low plasma β-ratio, for the distortion of the interstellar magnetic field surrounding the heliopause. The solution is obtained using a line dipole method that is the integration of point dipole along a semi-infinite line; it represents the magnetic field caused by the ...
