Turbulent Diffusion of Magnetic Fields in Weakly Ionized Gas
The diffusion of uni-directional magnetic fields by two dimensional turbulent flows in a weakly ionized gas is studied. The fields here are orthogonal to the plane of fluid motion. This simple model arises in the context of the decay of the mean magnetic flux to mass ratio in the interstellar medium. When ions are strongly coupled to neutrals, the transport of a large–scale magnetic field is dr...
متن کاملMagnetic fields and ionized gas in nearby late type galaxies ∗
Aims. In order to analyze the importance of the star formation rate in generating and amplifying magnetic fields in the interstellar medium we perform a deep continuum polarization study of three angularly large, late type spiral galaxies. Methods. We obtained deep total power and polarization maps at 4.85 GHz of NGC 4236, NGC 4656 and IC 2574 using the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope. This wa...
متن کاملSTIS Observations of the Nuclear Ionized Gas in the Elliptical Galaxy M84
We present optical long-slit spectroscopy of the nucleus of the nearby radio galaxy M84 (NGC 4374 = 3C 272.1) obtained with STIS aboard HST. Our spectra reveal that the nuclear gas disk seen in WFPC2 imaging by Bower et al. (1997, ApJ, 483, L33) is rotating rapidly. The velocity curve has an S-shape with a peak amplitude of 400 km s−1 at 0. ′′1 = 8 pc from the nucleus. To model the observed gas...
متن کاملOnce-ionized Helium in Superstrong Magnetic Fields
It is generally believed that magnetic fields of some neutron stars, the so-called magnetars, are enormously strong, up to 10–10 G. Recent investigations have shown that the atmospheres of magnetars are possibly composed of helium. We calculate the structure and bound-bound radiative transitions of the He ion in superstrong fields, including the effects caused by the coupling of the ion’s inter...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields in Galaxy Clusters
Magnetic fields in galaxy clusters can be investigated using a variety of techniques. Recent studies including radio halos, Inverse Compton hard X-ray emissions and Faraday rotation measure, are briefly outlined. A numerical approach for investigating cluster magnetic fields strength and structure is presented. It consists of producing simulated rotation measure, radio halo images, and radio ha...
