Magnetic fields and radio polarization of barred galaxies 3D dynamo simulations

A three-dimensional (3D) MHD model is applied to simulate the evolution of a large-scale magnetic field in a barred galaxy possessing a gaseous halo extending to about 2.8 kpc above the galactic plane. As the model input we use a time-dependent velocity field of molecular gas resulting from self-consistent 3D N-body simulations of a galactic disk. We assume that the gaseous halo rotates differe...

Magnetic fields in barred galaxies

We study the generation and maintenance of large-scale magnetic fields in barred galaxies. We take a velocity field (with strong noncircular components) from a published gas dynamical simulation of Athanassoula (1992), and use this as input to a galactic dynamo calculation. Our work is largely motivated by recent high quality VLA radio observations of the barred galaxy NGC 1097, and we compare ...

Magnetic fields in nearby galaxies: prospects with future radio telescopes

The origin of magnetic fields in the Universe is an open problem in astrophysics and fundamental physics. Our present-day knowledge is limited to regions of strong magnetic fields and to starforming disks of galaxies. Cosmic-ray electrons emitting at high (GHz) radio frequencies can propagate only a few kpc from their places of origin due to their lifetime limited by energy losses. Low-energy e...

Magnetic fields in barred galaxies . IV . NGC 1097 and NGC 1365

We present λ3.5 cm and λ6.2 cm radio continuum maps in total and polarized intensity of the barred galaxies NGC 1097 (at 2 ′′ –15 ′′ resolution) and NGC 1365 (at 9 ′′ –25 ′′ resolution). A previously unknown radio galaxy southwest of NGC 1097 is reported. Apart from a smooth faint envelope and a bright central region, both galaxies exhibit radio ridges roughly overlapping with the massive dust ...

Barred Galaxies

Theoretical studies suggest that large-scale stellar bars can be highly effective in delivering gas to the central few hundred parsecs of a spiral galaxy, which may then initiate rapid star formation. Further instabilities may lead to additional inflow to physical scales relevant for active galactic nuclei. We test these predictions in light of recent observations. Compared to unbarred spirals,...
