▪ Abstract This review surveys the observed properties of interstellar dust grains: the
wavelength-dependent extinction of starlight, including absorption features, from UV to …

Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

We describe a morphological imprint of magnetization found when considering the relative
orientation of the magnetic field direction with respect to the density structures in simulated …

In this chapter we review recent advances in understanding the roles that magnetic fields
play throughout the star formation process, gained through observations and simulations of …

We present λ 1.3 mm Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy
observations of dust polarization toward 30 star-forming cores and eight star-forming regions …

We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization
measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using …

Context. A large-scale magnetic field permeates our Galaxy and is involved in a variety of
astrophysical processes, such as star formation and cosmic ray propagation. Dust …

We describe a method for determining the dispersion of magnetic field vectors about large-
scale fields in turbulent molecular clouds. The method is designed to avoid inaccurate …

We have mapped linearly polarized dust emission from L183 with the James Clerk Maxwell
Telescope SCUBA polarimeter and have analyzed these and our previously published data …

We expand our study on the dispersion of polarization angles in molecular clouds. We show
how the effect of signal integration through the thickness of the cloud as well as across the …
