Identification of MHD compressible modes in interstellar plasma with synchrotron emission polarization

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2022-06-20 v7 Plasma Physics

Abstract

We provide a procedure for identification of dominating compressible and Alfvenic MHD modes or isotropic turbulence in synchrotron emission polarization maps of Galactic objects. The results for the region of North Galactic Pole, Orion molecular cloud complex and the star-forming complex Cygnus X are presented.
