Scale-dependent alignment in compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Scale-dependent alignment is how turbulence connects to reconnection. We show that the nature of scale-dependent alignment in compressible turbulence differs from well-established incompressible theory.

The density distribution and physical origins of intermittency in supersonic, highly magnetized turbulence with diverse modes of driving
The mass density distribution function of supersonic turbulence is approximately lognormal. Here we review some of the most popular nonlognormal models.
