Astrophysical magnetic fields and nonlinear dynamo theory

A Brandenburg, K Subramanian - Physics Reports, 2005 - Elsevier
The current understanding of astrophysical magnetic fields is reviewed, focusing on their
generation and maintenance by turbulence. In the astrophysical context this generation is …

Origin of galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields

LM Widrow - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2002 - APS
A variety of observations suggest that magnetic fields are present in all galaxies and galaxy
clusters. These fields are characterized by a modest strength (10− 7–10− 5 G) and huge …

Extragalactic magnetic fields

PP Kronberg - Reports on Progress in Physics, 1994 - iopscience.iop.org
The observational methods for detecting and measuring extragalactic magnetic fields are
discussed, along with some new indirect methods which could be used for inferring field …

Evolving turbulence and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters

K Subramanian, A Shukurov… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We discuss, using simple analytical models and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations,
the origin and parameters of turbulence and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters. Any pre …

SPH simulations of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters

K Dolag, M Bartelmann, H Lesch - arXiv preprint astro-ph/9906329, 1999 - arxiv.org
We perform cosmological, hydrodynamic simulations of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters.
The computational code combines the special-purpose hardware Grape for calculating …

A cluster merger and the origin of the extended radio emission in Abell 3667

K Roettiger, JO Burns, JM Stone - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a numerical model for the extended steep-spectrum radio sources and the
elongated X-ray structure in A3667 based on new three-dimensional MHD/N-body …

Hard X-ray radiation in the Coma cluster spectrum

R Fusco-Femiano, D Dal Fiume, L Feretti… - The Astrophysical …, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
Hard X-ray radiation has been detected for the first time in the Coma Cluster by BeppoSAX.
Thanks to the unprecedented sensitivity of the Phoswich Detection System (PDS) …

Magnetic field evolution in merging clusters of galaxies

K Roettiger, JM Stone, JO Burns - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We present initial results from the first three-dimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamical
(MHD) simulations of magnetic field evolution in merging clusters of galaxies. Within the …

Magnetic fields in cluster cores: Faraday rotation in A400 and A2634

JA Eilek, FN Owen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We present Faraday rotation data for radio sources in the centers of the Abell clusters A400
and A2634. These clusters contain large (≳ 100 kpc), tailed radio sources, each attached to …

Searching for cluster magnetic fields in the cooling flows of 0745-191, A2029, and A4059

GB Taylor, EJ Barton, J Ge - … (ISSN 0004-6256), vol. 107, no. 6 …, 1994 - adsabs.harvard.edu
We have performed sensitive polarimetric radio observations with the VLA of three galaxies:
PKS 0745-191, PKS 1508+ 059, and PKS 2354-350, embedded in x-ray cooling flow …
