Polarization observations reveal scale-dependent differences in magnetic field morphology between molecular clouds and clumps, a velocity-dispersion correlation, and unreliable field-strength estimates that contradict flux conservation.
Low-column-density filaments align parallel to magnetic fields while high-column-density wide filaments align perpendicular, with transition at roughly 0.8-8 x 10^21 cm^-2; projection effects analyzed statistically.
Three-dimensional three-temperature simulations of colliding supersonic plasma flows from irradiated CH mesh targets produce a persistent shocked turbulent mixing layer that evolves toward an isothermal state with anisotropic Reynolds stress and effective Reynolds number around 200.
Observational study of MBM12 shows CO-to-H2 conversion factor near galactic average with density-dependent variations, high virial parameters decreasing at small scales, broken power-law mass-size relations indicating external pressure, and magnetic field orientation transition at N(H2) = 4.5e21 cm-
Observational study of 100 LMC GMCs finds median 13CO(2-1)/12CO(2-1) line ratio of 0.078, nearly linear with luminosity, and higher in clouds hosting IR-bright young stellar objects.
Core-scale magnetic fields in star-forming regions are more disordered than cloud-scale fields and align randomly with core orientations and velocity gradients.
Milky Way linear filaments exhibit no strong B-field alignment and bimodal galactic-plane orientations (parallel near midplane, perpendicular far from it), supporting a super-Alfvénic bubbly disk model.
SKAO will enable detection of synchrotron emission from prestellar cores to probe their magnetic field properties in nearby star-forming regions.
