Radiative Torque Alignment: Essential Physical Processes
We study physical processes that affect the alignment of grains subject to radiative torques (RATs). To describe the action of the RATs we use the analytical model (AMO) of RATs introduced in Paper I, namely, in Lazarian & Hoang (2007). We focus our discussion on the RAT alignment by anisotropic radiation flux in respect to magnetic field. The latter defines the axis of grain Larmor precession....
متن کاملPhysical Processes behind the Alignment Effect
The radio/optical alignment effect for small powerful radio galaxies has been shown to be produced by shock waves formed by the interaction of the head of the jet and/or cocoon with clouds embedded in the interstellar/intergalactic medium. We present here preliminary results of analytical and numerical solutions that have been made to account for the production of implosive shock waves induced ...
متن کاملZitterbewegung in Radiative Processes
The zitterbewegung is a local circulatory motion of the electron presumed to be the basis of the electron spin and magnetic moment. A reformulation of the Dirac theory shows that this interpretation can be sustained rigorously, with the complex phase factor in the wave function describing the local frequency and phase of the circulatory motion directly. This reveals the zitterbewegung as a mech...
متن کاملRadiative Processes in Microquasars
Recent advances in the X-ray and soft γ-ray observations of accreting black holes and microquasars, in particular, are reviewed. The radiative processes responsible for the emission are discussed briefly. The hybrid thermal/nonthermal Comptonization model is shown to describe well the observed broad-band spectra. We also comments on alternative phenomenological and physical models that are used...
متن کاملPredictions of polarized dust emission from interstellar clouds: spatial variations in the efficiency of radiative torque alignment
Context. Polarization carries information about the magnetic fields in interstellar clouds. The observations of polarized dust emission are used to study the role of magnetic fields in the evolution of molecular clouds and the initial phases of star formation. Therefore, it is important to understand how different cloud regions contribute to the observed polarized signal. Aims. We study the gra...
