Our paper, Local relaxation and scale-dependent alignment in compressible, magnetized turbulence, with Amitava Bhattacharjee has been accepted in Physical Review Letters!
The updated study combines simulations with and without a mean magnetic field and a new model for departures from locally relaxed states. Together, they explain how alignment changes with scale in turbulent plasma.
