Galactic magnetic fields and spiral arms 3D dynamo simulations
We investigate the evolution of three-dimensional (3D), large-scale galactic magnetic fields under the influence of time dependent gas flows in spiral arms and excited by a turbulent dynamo. Our principal goal is to check how the enhanced turbulent diffusion in spiral arms affects the global magnetic field structure evolving under the influence of the dynamically changing gaseous spiral arms. S...
متن کاملGlobal Three-dimensional Mhd Simulations of Galactic Gaseous Disks: I. Amplification of Mean Magnetic Fields in Axisymmetric Gravitational Potential
We carried out global three-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of galactic gaseous disks to investigate how the galactic magnetic fields are amplified and maintained. We adopt a steady axisymmetric gravitational potential given by Miyamoto & Nagai (1975) and Miyamoto, Satoh & Ohashi (1980). As the initial condition, we assume a warm (T ∼ 10 K) rotating gas torus centered at ̟ ...
متن کاملInstabilities of Galactic Disks in the Presence of Star Formation
We discuss the stability of galactic disks in which the energy of interstellar clouds is gained in encounters with expanding supernova remnants and lost in inelastic collisions. Energy gain and loss processes introduce a phase difference between the pressure and density perturbations, making disks unstable on small scales for several recipes of star formation. This is in contrast to the standar...
متن کاملGalactic 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 کاملEffects of Disks on Gravitational Lensing by Spiral Galaxies
Gravitational lensing of a quasar by a spiral galaxy should often be accompanied by damped Lyα absorption and dust extinction due to the intervening gaseous disk. In nearly edge-on configurations, the surface mass density of the gas and stars in the disk could by itself split the quasar image and contribute significantly to the overall lensing cross section. We calculate the lensing probability...
