abstract

We present a model for compressible sub-Alfvenic isothermal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in low-beta plasmas and numerically test it. We separate MHD fluctuations into 3 distinct families - Alfven, slow, and fast modes. We find that, production of slow and fast modes by Alfvenic turbulence is suppressed. As a result, Alfven modes in compressible regime exhibit scalings and anisotropy similar to those in incompressible regime. Slow modes passively mimic Alfven modes. However, fast modes show isotropy and a scaling similar to acoustic turbulence.

  • Polarized 3D Synthetic Turbulence I: Magnetic Field Line Random Walk astro-ph.HE · 2026-05-21 · unverdicted · none · ref 19 · internal anchor

    Magnetosonic polarization in synthetic turbulence produces field-line diffusion scaling as (δB/B)^4 with subdiffusion matching MHD simulations, unlike the (δB/B)^2 scaling for random polarization.

    Angular power spectra of 610 MHz radio halos show excess power-law fluctuations only in Abell 2744, requiring multiplicative C_ℓ ∝ ℓ^{-3} structure atop an exponential profile and consistent with ICM turbulence.
