  • Most astrophysical systems are turbulent and magnetized. Magnetic field plays an important role in the dynamics of ISM and influence all of properties of astrophysical system. Information of magnetic field is very important to understand properties of astrophysical systems. For example, one way to obtain information of magnetic field is to use Rotation Measure. Mean strength of the magnetic field along the line of sight can be estimated from RM/DM. (where RM is rotation measure, DM is dispersion measure) For the estimation of magnetic field strength using RM/DM, the correlation between density and magnetic field is very important. When there is no correlation between density and magnetic field the relation gives exact mean magnetic field strength. But, if the correlation is positive, it overestimates the magnetic field strength, while if the correlation is negative, it underestimate the strength. We calculate correlation between density and magnetic field in compressible MHD turbulence.

When there is no correlation between density and magnetic field the relation gives exact mean magnetic strength. But if the positive correlation, it overestimates the magnetic field strength, while if the correlation is negative, it underestimate the magnetic field strength. In general, the ICM (intracluter medium) and the ISM (interstellar medium) cases, viscosity has a value greater than magnetic diffusion. We performed compressible MHD turbulence simulations and we studied correlation between density and magnetic field in different values of viscosity and magnetic diffusion. In most cases, we found weak or negative relations between the density and magnetic fields. We discuss implication of our results.

  • Magnetic fields play an important role in supporting molecular clouds against gravitational collapse. The measured magnetic field strengths in molecular clods enable us to see the effect of magnetic fields in star-forming regions. People have used the Chandrasekhar and Fermi (CF) method to estimate magnetic field strength from observational quantities of molecular cloud density, turbulent velocity and polarization angle dispersion. However, previous studies obtained just one magnetic field strength over the quite large region of a molecular cloud by using the CF method. We here suggest a way to estimate magnetic field strength distribution in Orion A region. We used 450 and 850-micron polarization data of James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Magnetic field strengths were estimated in two wavelengths with 4 pixel resolutions of 16, 20, 24 and 28". Through statistical analysis, we proved the difference of magnetic field strengths between two wavelengths were caused by the difference of their beam sizes. Additionally, we calculated the radii of curvature of polarization segments to select a best pixel resolution for estimating the magnetic field distribution. The pixel resolution should be larger than a radius of curvature. We selected that 20 or 24" pixel resolutions are good choices towards Orion A region.

  • The morphology and strength of the primordial magnetic field which is generated spontaneously in the early universe are studied for three models: (1) inflation (2) primordial magnetized bubble and (3) primordial turbulence models, We calculate the power spectra of magnetic field that are scale-free and proportional to $k^{1.5},k^{3{\sim}4}$ and $k^{2/3}$, respectively. The configurations of magnetic field having these power spectra are visualized. To constrain the present strength of the primordial magnetic field we calculate the anisotropy of the microwave background radiation in Bianchi type I universe with globally homogeneous magnetic field. From the COBE limit of the quadrupole moment of $({\delta}T/T)_{l=2}$ the present strength of horizen-scale magnetic fields $B_p$ is constrained to be less than $9{\times}10^{-8}G$.

  • The present study examines the morning-afternoon asymmetry of the geosynchronous magnetic field strength on the dayside (magnetic local time [MLT] = 06:00~18:00) using observations by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) over a period of 9 years from February 1998 to January 2007. During geomagnetically quiet time (Kp < 3), we observed that a peak of the magnetic field strength is skewed toward the earlier local times (11:07~11:37 MLT) with respect to local noon and that the geosynchronous field strength is larger in the morning sector than in the afternoon sector. That is, there is the morning-afternoon asymmetry of the geosynchronous magnetic field strength. Using solar wind data, it is confirmed that the morning-afternoon asymmetry is not associated with the aberration effect due to the orbital motion of the Earth about the Sun. We found that the peak location of the magnetic field strength is shifted toward the earlier local times as the ratio of the magnetic field strength at MLT = 18 (B-dusk) to the magnetic field strength at MLT = 06 (B-dawn) is decreasing. It is also found that the dawn-dusk magnetic field median ratio, B-dusk/B-dawn, is decreasing as the solar wind dynamic pressure is increasing. The morning-afternoon asymmetry of the magnetic field strength appears in Tsyganenko geomagnetic field model (TS-04 model) when the partial ring current is included in TS-04 model. Unlike our observations, however, TS-04 model shows that the peak location of the magnetic field strength is shifted toward local noon as the solar wind dynamic pressure grows in magnitude. This may be due to that the symmetric magnetic field associated with the magnetopause current, strongly affected by the solar wind dynamic pressure, increases. However, the partial ring current is not affected as much as the magnetopause current by the solar wind dynamic pressure in TS-04 model. Thus, our observations suggest that the contribution of the partial ring current at geosynchronous orbit is much larger than that expected from TS-04 model as the solar wind dynamic pressure increases.

  • Numerical simulations are carried out for the magnetic Czochralski single crystal growth system. It Is shown that a magnetic field significantly suppresses the convective flow and as the strength of magnetic field becomes to be stronger, the heat transfer in the melt is dominated by conduction rather than convection. By imposing a cusp magnetic field, the growth interface shape becomes convex toward the melt. When the axial magnetic field is imposed, there occurs an inversion of the interface shape with increase of the magnetic field strength. The oxygen concentration near the interface decreases with increasing cusp magnetic field strength while axial field causes an increase of an oxygen concentration at the central region and decrease of that at the edge of the crystal. The results show that the cusp magnetic field has advantages over an axial magnetic field In the radial uniformity of oxygen as well as in the additional degree of control.

  • We would like to show a measuring technique of azimuthal anchoring energy of the nematic liquid crystals. The electro-optical setup of liquid crystal cell, crossed polarizers and magnetic field was assumed. The planar or hybrid alignment cells were prepared. The director in the light entering substrate and the polarization of light was adjusted into parallel to the magnetic field. The director orientation of exit substrate and analyser maintained perpendicular to the magnetic field. As the magnetic field strength is increased, the director deviates from the easy axis and rotates to the field direction. We obtained an equation calculating the change of transmission with the field and measured experimentally the transmission. By comparing the calculating and experimental data, we obtained the azimuthal anchoring strength.

  • Solar electrical conductivity has been calculated, making use of Yun and Wyller's formulation. The computed results arc presented in a tabulated form as functions of temperature and pressure for given magnetic field strengths. The results of the calculation show that the magnetic field does not play any important role in characterizing the electrical conductivity of the ionized gas when the gas pressure is relatively high (e.g., $P{\geq}10^4\;dynes/cm^2$). However, when the gas pressure is low (e.g., $P{\leq}10\;dynes/cm^2$), the magnetic field becomes very effective even if its field strength is quite small (e.g., $B{\leq}0.01$ gauss). It is also found that, except for lower temperature region (e.g., $T{\leq}10^{4^{\circ}}K$), there is a certain linear relationship in a log- log graph between the pressure and the critical magnetic field strength, which is defined as a field strength capable of reducing the non-magnetic component of the electrical conductivity by 20%.

  • A method of estimating the lower bound of coronal magnetic field strength in the neighborhood of an ejecting plasmoid is presented. Based on the assumption that the plasma ejecta is within a magnetic island, an analytical expression for the force acting on the ejecta is derived. The method is applied to a limb coronal mass ejection event, and a lower bound of the magnetic field strength just below the CME core is estimated. The method is expected to provide useful information on the strength of reconnecting magnetic field if applied to X-ray plasma ejecta.
