Magnetic fields of our Galaxy on large and small scales
Magnetic fields have been observed on all scales in our Galaxy, from AU to kpc. With pulsar dispersion measures and rotation measures, we can directly measure the magnetic fields in a very large region of the Galactic disk. The results show that the large-scale magnetic fields are aligned with the spiral arms but reverse their directions many times from the inner-most arm (Norma) to the outer a...
متن کاملObserving Magnetic Fields on Large Scales
Observations of magnetic fields on scales up to several Mpc are important for understanding cluster and largescale structure evolution. Our current census of such structures is heavily biased – towards fields of several μG, towards fields in deep potential wells, and towards high inferred field strengths in cooling flow and other clusters from improper analysis of rotation measure data. After r...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in AGNs and microquasars
Observations of AGNs and microquasars by ASCA, RXTE, Chandra and XMMNewton indicate the existence of wide X-ray emission lines of heavy ionized elements in their spectra. The emission can arise in the inner parts of accretion discs where the effects of General Relativity (GR) must be counted, moreover such effects can dominate. We describe a procedure to estimate an upper limit of the magnetic ...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields Around Black Holes
Title of Dissertation: Magnetic Fields Around Black Holes David A. G. Garofalo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor Christopher Stephen Reynolds Department of Astronomy Active Galactic Nuclei are the most powerful long-lived objects in the universe. They are thought to harbor supermassive black holes that range from 1 million solar masses to 1000 times that value and ...
متن کاملPhase Transition Generated Cosmological Magnetic Field at Large Scales
We constrain a primordial magnetic field (PMF) generated during a phase transitions (PT) using big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) bounds on the relativistic energy density. The amplitude of the PMF at large scales is determined by the spectral shape of the PMF spectrum outside its maximal correlation length scale. Even if the amplitude of the PMF at 1 Mpc is small, PT generated PMFs can leave obser...
