Interstellar polarization at optical-to-infrared wavelengths is known to arise from asymmetric
dust grains aligned with the magnetic field. This effect provides a potentially powerful probe …

We review inflationary cosmology in modified gravity such as R 2 gravity with its extensions
in order to generalize the Starobinsky inflation model. In particular, we explore inflation …

We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2 and Keck Array cosmic
microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments up to and including the 2014 …

A bstract Flux couplings to string theory axions yield super-Planckian field ranges along
which the axion potential energy grows. At the same time, other aspects of the physics …

Both multiphase gas and magnetic fields are ubiquitous in astrophysics. However, the
influence of magnetic fields on mixing of the different phases is still largely unexplored. In …

Polarized (sub) millimetre emission from dust grains in circumstellar disks was initially
thought to be because of grains aligned with the magnetic field,. However, higher-resolution …

We present the first degree-scale tomography map of the dusty magnetized interstellar
medium (ISM) from stellar polarimetry and distance measurements. We used the RoboPol …

The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is an experiment to measure the
signature of a gravitationalwave background from inflation in the polarization of the cosmic …

The radiative torque (RAT) alignment of interstellar grains with ordinary paramagnetic
susceptibilities has been supported by earlier studies. The alignment of such grains …

The magnetic field is a key ingredient in the recipe of star formation. However, the
importance of the magnetic field in the early stages of the formation of low-and high-mass …
