A Global Probe of Cosmic Magnetic Fields to High Redshifts
Faraday rotation (RM) probes of magnetic fields in the universe are sensitive to cosmological and evolutionary effects as z increases beyond ∼1 because of the scalings of electron density and magnetic fields, and the growth in the number of expected intersections with galaxy-scale intervenors, dN/dz. In this new global analysis of an unprecedented large sample of RM’s of high latitude quasars e...
متن کاملLarge rotation measures in radio galaxies at z > 2
We have carried out multifrequency radio polarisation imaging of a sample of 15 radio galaxies at z > 2 from the MRC/1Jy sample using the VLA. We report here the discovery of large rotationmeasures (RM) in a considerable fraction of the high redshift radio galaxies. Using the difference between the RM values of the two radio lobes in each source and statistical arguments, we show that the Farad...
متن کاملThe Origin of Primordial Magnetic Fields
Fields of intensities similar to those in our galaxy are also observed in high redshift galaxies, where a mean field dynamo would not have had time to produce them. Therefore, a primordial origin is indicated. It has been suggested that magnetic fields were created at various primordial eras: during inflation, the electroweak phase transition, the quark-hadron phase transition (QHPT), during th...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in star-forming galaxies at low and high redshifts
Magnetic fields in nearby galaxies are amplified and structured by compressing and shearing gas flows and by dynamo action. Large-scale coherent fields can be expected in young galaxies after several 10yr, while turbulent flows and small-scale dynamos can generate turbulent magnetic fields on the timescale of the first supernova explosions. Frequent interactions and ram pressure in the early Un...
متن کاملExtragalactic magnetic fields
Recent advances in observational techniques reveal the widespread existence of magnetic fields in the Universe, and produce much firmer estimates of magnetic field strengths in interstellar and intergalactic space. Ordered, microgauss-level fields are common in spiral galaxy disks and halos, and appear to be a common property of the intra-cluster medium of clusters of galaces, indeed well beyon...
