Mergers and interactions can significantly affect the morphological and dynamical properties of galaxies, however the impact of mergers on turbulence at $z > 1$ has not been observationally constrained. In this work we use the interaction…

Strong magnetic fields are observed in a substantial fraction of upper main sequence stars and white dwarfs. Many such stars are observed to exhibit photometric modulations as the magnetic poles rotate in and out of view, which could be a…

Magnetic fields are ubiquitously observed in the interstellar medium (ISM) of present-day star-forming galaxies with dynamically relevant energy densities. Using three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the supernova (SN)…

We study the evolution of an inflation-generated magnetic field, due to its coupling to fluid motions, during cosmological phase transitions. We find that the magnetic field stays almost unchanged on large scales, while on small scales the…

The Universe at present is highly magnetized, with fields of the order of a few 10^-5 G and coherence lengths larger than 10 kpc in typical galaxies like the Milky Way. We propose that the magnetic field was amplified to this values already…

Rotation has a number of important effects on the evolution of stars. It decreases the surface gravity, causes enhanced mass loss and leads to surface abundance anomalies of various chemical isotopes. We have adapted the Cambridge stellar…

We investigate the effect of large magnetic fields on the $2+1$ dimensional reduced-magnetohydrodynamical expansion of hot and dense nuclear matter produced in $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. For the sake of simplicity, we…
