Cosmological Structure Formation Creates Large-scale Magnetic Fields
This paper examines the generation of seed magnetic fields due to the growth of cosmological perturbations. In the radiation era, different rates of scattering from photons induce local differences in the ion and electron density and velocity fields. The currents due to the relative motion of these fluids generate magnetic fields on all cosmological scales, peaking at a magnitude of O(10 G) at ...
متن کاملCosmological magnetic fields
Magnetic fields are observed not only in stars, but in galaxies, clusters, and even high redshift Lyman-α systems. In principle, these fields could play an important role in structure formation and also affect the anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). The study of cosmological magnetic fields aims not only to quantify these effects on large-scale structure and the CMB...
متن کاملCosmological Magnetic Fields
We discuss the evolution of cosmological magnetic fields from the early universe to the present. We review different scenarios for magnetogenesis in the early universe and follow the subsequent evolution of these fields as the universe recombines. We then focus on the role primordial fields play after recombination in the seeding of stellar and galactic fields and the formation of structure. Co...
متن کاملCosmological Magnetic Fields vs . CMB
I present a short review of the effects of a cosmological magnetic field on the CMB temperature and polarization anisotropies. Various possibilities for constraining the magnetic field amplitude are discussed. Cosmological primordial seed magnetic fields were proposed to explain the existence of observed ∼ 10 −6 G magnetic fields in galaxies and clusters (see, e.g., Widrow 2002, Gio-vaninni 200...
متن کاملNonlinear Cosmological Structure Formation
I present a general discussion of the evolution and model-dependence of both the linear and nonlinear power spectrum of density fluctuations. The features of the linear power spectrum in cosmological models with cold dark matter (CDM) and cold+hot dark matter (C+HDM) are reviewed, and useful analytical approximations are summarized. Cosmological numerical simulation results are then used to ill...
