Magnetohydrodynamics of charged interstellar dust. Multifluid models and study of the linear modes

Interstellar grains play key roles in star and planet formation, including the coupling of the gas to the magnetic field during the protostellar collapse.

Interstellar grains play key roles in star and planet formation, including the coupling of the gas to the magnetic field during the protostellar collapse. These roles depend on the local grain size distribution, which requires a multifluid treatment of charged dust. We aim to…
