Galactic and Extragalactic Magnetic Fields
The strength of the total magnetic field in our Milky Way from radio Zeeman and synchrotron measurements is about 6 μG near the Sun and several mG in dense clouds, pulsar wind nebulae, and filaments near the Galactic Center. Diffuse polarized radio emission and Faraday rotation of the polarized emission from pulsars and background sources show many small-scale magnetic features, but the overall...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in galactic haloes
Magnetic fields on a range of scales play a large role in the ecosystems of galaxies, both in the galactic disk and in the extended layers of gas away from the plane. Observing magnetic field strength, structure and orientation is complex, and necessarily indirect. Observational data of magnetic fields in the halo of the Milky Way are scarce, and non-conclusive about the large-scale structure o...
متن کاملGalactic winds and the symmetry properties of galactic magnetic fields
Context. Contemporary studies of the symmetry properties of galactic magnetic fields contain two contradictory ideas. There are observational and theoretical hints that large-scale magnetic fields are symmetric with respect to the galactic plane in the disc, and antisymmetric in the halo. On the other hand, standard galactic dynamo models without a galactic wind give symmetric or antisymmetric ...
متن کاملObservational signatures of helical galactic magnetic fields
We investigate the possibility of reproducing the observed polarization and Faraday rotation properties of spiral galaxies assuming their disks to be filled with regular helical magnetic fields. Both small-scale (< 1 kpc) flux tubes predicted by local hydrodynamicmodels and global, galaxy-scale (several kpc) fields generated by the dynamoprocess are considered. The large-scale fields are found ...
متن کاملCluster Magnetic Fields from Galactic Outflows
We performed cosmological, magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to follow the evolution of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters, exploring the possibility that the origin of the magnetic seed fields are galactic outflows during the star-burst phase of galactic evolution. To do this we coupled a semi-analytical model for magnetized galactic winds as suggested by Bertone et al. (2006) to our cosmolog...
