Spinning Dust Emission from Wobbling Grains: Important Physical Effects and Implications

<table>Polarization for both resonance paramagnetic relaxation and Davis-Greenstein relaxation for grains in the cold interstellar medium as a function of frequency (from LD00). For resonance relaxation the saturation effects are neglected, which means that the upper curves correspond to the <i>maximal</i> values allowed by the resonant paramagnetic mechanism.</table>
