Magnetic field evolution in cosmic filaments with LOFAR data

چکیده
Measuring the magnetic field in cosmic filaments reveals how Universe is magnetised and process that it. Using Rotation Measures (RM) at 144-MHz from LoTSS DR2 data, we analyse rms of RM extragalactic component as a function redshift to investigate evolution with filaments. From previous results, find term dominated by contribution (more than 90 percent). Including an error account for minor local sources, fit data model physical filament field, evolving $B_f = B_{f,0}\,(1+z)^\alpha$ density drawn cosmological simulations five magnetogenesis scenarios. We best-fit slope range $\alpha [-0.2, 0.1]$ uncertainty $\sigma_\alpha 0.4$--0.5, which consistent no evolution. The comoving decreases $\gamma \alpha - 2 [-2.2, -1.9]$. mean strength $z=0$ $B_{f,0}=39$--84~nG. For typical gas overdensity $\delta_g=10$ $B_{f,0}^{10}=8$--26~nG. A primordial stochastic initial $B_{\rm Mpc} 0.04$--0.11~nG favoured. uniform rejected.

Magnetic Visions: Mapping Cosmic Magnetism with Lofar and Ska
The origin of magnetic fields in the Universe is an open problem in astrophysics and fundamental physics. “Cosmic Magnetism” has been accepted as Key Science Project both for the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR, under construction) and the planned Square Kilometre Array (SKA). At low frequencies LOFAR and SKA will allow to map the structure of weak magnetic fields in the outer regions and halos of g...
متن کاملCosmic Walls and Filaments Formation in Modied Chaplygin Gas Cosmology
We want to study the perturbation growth of an initial seed of an ellipsoidal shape in Top-Hat collapse model of the structure formation in the Modied Chaplygin gas cosmology. Considering reasonable values of the constants and the parameters of the model under study, we can show that a very small deviation from spherical symmetry (ellipsoidal geometry) in the initial seed leads to a nal highly ...
متن کاملMeasurement of cosmic rays with LOFAR
The LOw Frequency ARay (LOFAR) is a multipurpose radio-antenna array aimed to detect radio signals in the 10 − 240 MHz frequency range, covering a large surface in Northern Europe with a higher density in the Northern Netherlands. Radio emission in the atmosphere is produced by cosmic-ray induced air showers through the interaction of charged particles with the Earth magnetic field. The detecti...
متن کاملLOFAR views of cosmic reionization
We use numerical simulations of cosmic reionization and radiative processes related to the HI 21 cm emission line to produce synthetic radio maps as seen by LOFAR, a new radio telescope currently under construction that will operate at low radio frequencies. Two different scenarios, in which the end of reionization occurs early (z ≈ 13) or late (z ≈ 8) depending on the Initial Mass Function (IM...
متن کاملCosmic magnetic fields in large scale filaments and sheets
We consider the possibility that cosmic magnetic field, instead of being uniformly distributed, is strongly correlated with the large scale structure of the universe. Then, the observed rotational measure of extra-galactic radio sources would be caused mostly by the clumpy magnetic field in cosmological filaments/sheets rather than by a uniform magnetic field, which was often assumed in previou...
