We investigate turbulent properties of the non-star-forming, translucent molecular cloud, MBM16 by applying the statistical technique of a two-dimensional spatial power spectrum (SPS) on the neutral hydrogen (HI) observations obtained by…

The interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy is magnetized, compressible and turbulent, influencing many key ISM properties, like star formation, cosmic ray transport, and metal and phase mixing. Yet, basic statistics describing…

The effect of the scalar spectral index on inflationary super-Hubble waves is to amplify/damp large wavelengths according to whether the spectrum is red ($n_{s}<1$) or blue ($n_{s}>1$). As a consequence, the large-scale temperature…

Galactic dark matter halos may be composed of ultralight axions (ULAs) ($m_a \lesssim 1$ eV) with wave functions that satisfy nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson equations (SPA). We find eigenstates of SPA in WKB approximation. The expansion…
