Evolution of magnetic fields in galaxies and future observational tests with the Square Kilometre Array
Aims. We investigate the cosmological evolution of largeand small-scale magnetic fields in galaxies in the light of present models of formation and evolution of galaxies. Methods. We use the dynamo theory to derive the timescales of amplification and ordering of magnetic fields in disk and puffy galaxies. Turbulence in protogalactic halos generated by thermal virialization can drive an efficien...
متن کاملEvolution of magnetic fields in galaxies in the frame of hierarchical structure formation cosmology: future tests with the SKA
Results from simulations of hierarchical structure formation cosmology provide a tool to develop an evolutionary model of regular magnetic fields coupled to galaxy formation and evolution. We use the dynamo theory to derive the timescales of amplification and ordering of magnetic fields in disk and puffy galaxies. Galaxies similar to the Milky Way formed their disks at z≈ 10 and regular fields ...
متن کاملThe Origin of Primordial Magnetic Fields
Fields of intensities similar to those in our galaxy are also observed in high redshift galaxies, where a mean field dynamo would not have had time to produce them. Therefore, a primordial origin is indicated. It has been suggested that magnetic fields were created at various primordial eras: during inflation, the electroweak phase transition, the quark-hadron phase transition (QHPT), during th...
متن کاملEntanglement in the XZ spin chain model in the external magnetic field
The entanglement at zero-temperature is studied in a two-qubit XZ spin-1/2 chain model in anexternal magnetic field which is applied in the z direction. We have obtained an analytical relation forthe effect of the external magnetic field on the concurrence. It is shown that the ground state of thesystem depends on the strength of exchange coupling. We have shown that the analytical relation oft...
متن کاملRXTE and ASCA Constraints on Non-thermal Emission from the A2256 Galaxy Cluster
An 8.3 hour observation of the Abell 2256 galaxy cluster using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) proportional counter array (PCA) produced a high quality spectrum in the 2 30 keV range. Joint fitting with the 0.7 11 keV spectrum obtained with the Advanced Satellite for Astrophysics and Cosmology (ASCA) Gas Imaging spectrometer (GIS) gives an upperlimit of ∼2.3×10−7 photons cm−2 sec−1 keV−1...
