Structure and Evolution of Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds

科罗拉多大学Ellen Zweibel 98财年：225,000美元，36个月。分子云中磁场的结构和演化。茨韦贝尔博士将对星际云中的磁场进行理论研究。她和她的同事们将专注于重新评估弱磁场的理论证据，并检查可能导致分子云磁通量损失的几个过程。研究方法包括与最先进的数值计算相结合的分析技术，并在可能的情况下与观测进行比较。***

Ellen Zweibel University of Colorado FY 98: $225,000 For 36 months. Structure and Evolution of Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds. Dr. Zweibel will conduct a program of theoretical research on magnetic fields in interstellar clouds. She and her colleagues will concentrate on reevaluating the theoretical evidence for weak magnetic fields and for examining several processes which could lead to loss of magnetic flux from molecular clouds. The research methods involve analytical techniques coupled to state of the art numerical computations, and comparison, where possible, with observations. ***
