Dust Grain Alignment

Dust Grain Alignment is a physical mechanism in astrophysics that describes the process by which non-spherical interstellar dust grains acquire a preferential orientation with respect to the magnetic field or radiation anisotropy, enabling polarization of emitted or scattered light.
