Limits on the Chirality of Interstellar and Intergalactic Space
We raise the question of whether velocities of left and right circularly-polarized photons might be different (for reasons other than the well-known Faraday effect). Such a difference could manifest itself either in the time profiles of pulsed or bursting astronomical sources or in the rotation of the direction of polarization of linearly polarized radiation from them. The existing observations...
متن کاملFar Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the Intergalactic and Interstellar Absorption Toward 3 C 273
We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations of the molecular, neutral atomic, weakly ionized, and highly ionized components of the interstellar and intergalactic material toward the quasar 3C 273. We identify Lyβ absorption in 8 of the known intergalactic Lyα absorbers along the sight line with rest-frame equivalent widths Wr(Lyα) & 50 mÅ. Refined estimates of the H I column ...
متن کاملSolar and planetary dynamos
While obviously having a common root, solar and planetary dynamo theory have taken increasingly divergent routes in the last two or three decades, and there are probably few experts now who can claim to be equally versed in both. Characteristically, even in the fine and comprehensive book “The magnetic Universe” (Rüdiger & Hollerbach 2004), the chapters on planets and on the Sun were written by...
متن کاملAccretion and galactic dynamos
We show that radial flows (directed either inward or outward) suppress mean-field dynamo action in a thin disc. Under conditions typical of spiral galaxies, the reduction in the growth rate of the large-scale magnetic field can reach 25–30%. The dynamo-generated galactic magnetic fields themselves can drive radial flows at a rate of order 0.1M yr−1. These radial flows can contribute to the satu...
متن کاملPlanetary Dynamos
The theory of planetary dynamos and its applications to observed phenomena of planetary magnetism are outlined. It is generally accepted that convection flows driven by thermal or compositional buoyancy are the most likely source for the sustenance of global planetary magnetic fields. While the existence of dynamos in electrically conducting fluid planetary cores provides constraints on propert...
