We investigate the nature and spatial variations of turbulence in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) by applying several statistical methods on the neutral hydrogen (HI) column density image of the SMC and a database of isothermal numerical…

Using cosmological dark matter only simulations of a $(1.6$ Gpc$/h)^3$ volume from the Legacy simulation project, we calculate Cosmic Mach Numbers (CMN) and perform a theoretical investigation of their relation with halo properties and…

Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) structures are used to investigate the dependency of column density variance ({\sigma}_{\ln N}^2) in the turbulent interstellar medium on the variance of three-dimensional density ({\sigma}_{\ln\rho}^2) and…

The 23 GHz emission lines from the NH3 rotation inversion transitions are widely used to investigate the kinematics and physical conditions in dense molecular clouds. The line profile is composed of hyperfine components which can be used to…

We present high resolution simulations of two-fluid (ion-neutral) MHD turbulence with resolutions as large as 512^3. The simulations are supersonic and mildly sub-Alfvenic, in keeping with the conditions present in molecular clouds. Such…

Turbulence and magnetic fields are components of the interstellar medium and are interconnected through plasma processes. In particular, the magnetic flux transport in the presence of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is an essential…

We have computed line emission cooling rates for the main cooling species in models of interstellar molecular clouds. The models are based on numerical simulations of super-sonic magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Non-LTE radiative…

We use a set of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of fully-developed (driven) turbulence to study the anisotropy in the velocity field that is induced by the presence of the magnetic field. In our models we study turbulence…

We investigate how the spectral properties of atomic (HI) and molecular (H$_2$) gas, traced by CO(2-1), are related in M33 on $80$ pc scales. We find the HI and CO(2-1) velocity at peak intensity to be highly correlated, consistent with…

Our interest has been to study the effect that scattered radiation has on contrast, signal-to-noise ratio and thickness reconstruction in digital mammographies. Using the GEANT code we have performed Monte-Carlo simulations of 25 kVp Mo/Mo…

We analyze the line ratio of the $^{13}$CO (2-1) to $^{12}$CO (2-1) rotational transitions observed from new ALMA observations of 100 Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) that span the Large Magellanic Cloud. We measure a median line ratio of…

The $^{13}$CO molecule is often used as a column density tracer in regions where the $^{12}$CO emission saturates. The $^{13}$CO column density is then related to that of $^{12}$CO by a uniform isotopic ratio. A similar approximation is…

We aim to develop the Orion B Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) as a local template for interpreting extra-galactic molecular line observations. We use the wide-band receiver at the IRAM-30m to spatially and spectrally resolve the Orion B GMC.…

We study the probability distribution function (PDF) of the mass density in simulations of supersonic turbulence with properties appropriate for molecular clouds. For this study we use Athena, a new higher-order Godunov code. We find there…

The Millimeter-wave Intensity Mapping Experiment (mmIME) recently reported a detection of excess spatial fluctuations at a wavelength of 3 mm, which can be attributed to unresolved emission of several CO rotational transitions between…

In light of the rise of transition metal dichalcogenides as 2D semiconductors for device applications, band engineering becomes very important from an application point of view. In many of these materials, such as the canonical example of…

We investigate the molecular gas properties of galaxies across the main sequence of star-forming (SF) galaxies in the local Universe using $^{12}$CO($J=1-0$) (hereafter $^{12}$CO) and $^{13}$CO($J=1-0$) ($^{13}$CO) mapping data of 147…

In this work we use models of molecular clouds (MC), and non-LTE radiative transfer calculations, to obtain a theoretical calibration of the relation between LTE 13CO column density and true column density in MCs. The cloud models consist…

Diagnostics of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere is a topic which often encounters problems of interpretation, due partly to the high complexity of the solar atmospheric medium. Forward modeling can significantly guide interpretation,…

We study the statistics of density for supersonic turbulence in a medium with magnetic pressure larger than the gaseous pressure. This study is motivated by molecular cloud research. Our simulations exhibit clumpy density structures, which…
