Astrophysical hydromagnetic turbulence
read the original abstract
Recent progress in astrophysical hydromagnetic turbulence is being reviewed. The physical ideas behind the now widely accepted Goldreich--Sridhar model and its extension to compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence are introduced. Implications for cosmic ray diffusion and acceleration is being discussed. Dynamo-generated magnetic fields with and without helicity are contrasted against each other. Certain turbulent transport processes are being modified and often suppressed by anisotropy and inhomogeneities of the turbulence, while others are being produced by such properties, which can lead to new large-scale instabilities of the turbulent medium. Applications of various such processes to astrophysical systems are being considered.

Guide-Field-mediated Multiscale Instabilities in Relativistic Reconnection
Simulations demonstrate non-monotonic guide-field regulation of reconnection efficiency via balance between drift-kink suppression and tearing-mode hindrance in 3D relativistic current sheets.
