Feiyu Quan 全飞宇
PhD student in Astrophysics at CUHK
Hello there!
I’m Feiyu Quan (全飞宇), a PhD student studying astrophysics in the Star Formation Group at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Previously, I studied astrophysics at the University of Toronto and the University of Cambridge.
Research
Projection effects in observations
Feiyu Quan et al., “Projection Is All You Need: Interpreting Polarization Measurements in the Orion Clouds with Sub-Alfvénic MHD Simulations,” The Astrophysical Journal, 2026. DOI
This work discusses the significance of projection effects in interpreting polarization observations and the complex magnetic-field morphologies of slightly super-Alfvénic dense cores within sub-Alfvénic molecular clouds.
Interactive visualizations are available for misaligned magnetic fields and aligned magnetic fields. They may take a while to load. If they do not load, clearing your browser’s cache may help.
In these visualizations, red field lines pass through dense regions with \(n_{\mathrm{H}_2} > 5 \times 10^4\,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\), while blue field lines pass through diffuse gas with \(n_{\mathrm{H}_2} < 1 \times 10^4\,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\). The grayscale background represents volume density.
Spectral compensation of turbulence and zoom-in simulations
Ongoing work on compensated turbulence spectra and multiscale zoom-in simulations of molecular clouds and disks.
