Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014
Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

Using numerical models of bow shocks to investigate the circumstellar medium of massive stars

, 2014
Many massive stars travel through the interstellar medium at supersonic speeds. As a result they form bow shocks at the interface between the stellar wind.

Loading Non‐Maxwellian Velocity Distributions in Particle Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Numerical procedures for generating non‐Maxwellian velocity distributions in particle simulations are presented. First, Monte Carlo methods for the (r,q) $(r,q)$ distribution that generalizes flattop and Kappa distributions are discussed. Then, two rejection methods for the regularized Kappa distribution are presented, followed by a comparison

Asymptotic Behaviour of Galactic Small-scale Dynamos at Modest Magnetic Prandtl Number

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Magnetic fields are critical at many scales to galactic dynamics and structure, including multiphase pressure balance, dust processing, and star formation. Dynamo action determines their dynamical structure and strength.

Dynamically dominant magnetic fields in the diffuse interstellar medium

, 2009
Observations show that magnetic fields in the interstellar medium (ISM) often do not respond to increases in gas density as would be naively expected for a frozen-in field. This may suggest that the magnetic field in the diffuse gas becomes detached from

The Constraint of Crewed Mars Missions Based on Current Radiation Dose Measurements

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Crewed missions to Mars will be a milestone of future space exploration programs. However, the absence of Earth's magnetic field leaves astronauts directly exposed to unattenuated energetic particles in deep space, primarily galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), resulting in significantly higher radiation levels and enhanced health risks. Understanding

Tracing Magnetic Fields with the Gradient Technique: Spatial Filtering Effect and Use of Interferometers

The Astrophysical Journal
Probing magnetic fields in astrophysical environments is both important and challenging. The Gradient Technique (GT) is a new tool for tracing magnetic fields, rooted in the properties of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and turbulent magnetic ...

Atomic alignment and Diagnostics of Magnetic Fields in Diffuse Media

, 2008
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 fields in these environments.

Atmospheric and Deposition Responses of 10Be to Volcanic Eruptions Inferred From the Aerosol‐Climate Model ECHAM6.3‐HAM2.3‐SALSA2.0: 10Be

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract 10Be deposition in ice cores is widely used for solar reconstructions, but its interpretation is complicated by volcanic influences. Using the state‐of‐the‐art aerosol‐climate model ECHAM6.3‐HAM2.3‐SALSA2.0: 10Be, we assess the impacts of three major volcanic eruptions: Agung (1963), El Chichón (1982) and Pinatubo (1991). All eruptions enhance
