Recent progress in theory and observational study of dust grain alignment and rotational disruption in star-forming regions

Modern understanding of dust astrophysics reveals that radiative torques (RATs) arising from the radiation–dust interaction can induce two fundamental effects: grain alignment and rotational disruption. Here, we review the recent progress in the theoretical development and observational testing of t...
