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 …

On the origin of cosmic magnetic fields

RM Kulsrud, EG Zweibel - Reports on progress in physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the extensive and controversial literature concerning how the cosmic magnetic
fields pervading nearly all galaxies and clusters of galaxies actually got started. Some …

E pur si muove: Galilean-invariant cosmological hydrodynamical simulations on a moving mesh

V Springel - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Hydrodynamic cosmological simulations at present usually employ either the Lagrangian
smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique or Eulerian hydrodynamics on a …

Cosmological hydrodynamics with adaptive mesh refinement-a new high resolution code called ramses

R Teyssier - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 - aanda.org
A new N-body and hydrodynamical code, called RAMSES, is presented. It has been
designed to study structure formation in the universe with high spatial resolution. The code is …

Statistical properties of x-ray clusters: Analytic and numerical comparisons
