Internal and External Alignment of Carbonaceous Grains within the Radiative Torque Paradigm

Internal and External Alignment of Carbonaceous Grains within the Radiative Torque Paradigm

We study the internal and external alignment of carbonaceous grains in the interstellar medium (ISM) within the Radiative Torque (RAT) paradigm. For internal alignment (IA), we find that hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) grains having nuclear paramagnetism due to hydrogen protons have efficient nu...
