News on Interstellar grain alignmentLargely based on spectro-polarimetry obtained with ALFOSC and photo-polarimetry made with Turpol at the Nordic Optical Telescope, a team led by Dr. B-G Andersson finds that intense molecular hydrogen formation makes dust spin and align up with the magnetic field.See ApJ article Andersson, B-G, Piirola, V., De Buizer, J., et al. 2013, ApJ 775, 84A See USRA press release Molecular Hydrogen Formation Makes Dust Spin |
