The Magnetic Field

Two mechanisms of the galactic seed field generation are discussed. One of the mechanisms implies a direct generation of the seed magnetic field through a battery process (Lazarian 1992a). The other accounts for the possibility of the preliminary amplification of the magnetic field on a scale of molecular clouds (Lazarian 1992b). This means that the galactic dynamo can feed on the non-zero average value of the magnetic field amplified by such a small-scale dynamo. It is shown that both mechanisms can generate an adequate seed field. These two scenarios of the seed magnetic field generation can be distinguished by an analysis of the present day galactic magnetic structure.

Seed Field

Magnetic field generation in molecular (atomic) clouds at the early stages of galactic evolution is considered. It is shown that if there is no internal motions immersed the cloud, battery mechanisms (Lazarian 1992a) can account for the generation of thin magnetic shells around clouds insides in plasma with temperature gradients. If turbulent motions are present, the dynamo can be essential. The operation of α — ω, α2 and turbulent dynamos within molecular clouds is discussed. It is shown that the turbulent dynamo leads to generation of magnetic fields in the trace behind the cloud. These magnetic fields within the molecular clouds and in their vicinity are important for the solution of the galactic seed field problem (see Lazarian 1992b) and the formation of structures in clumpy molecular complexes.

The Magnetic Field

AbstractThe magnetic field pervading our Galaxy is a crucial constituent of the interstellar medium: it mediates the dynamics of interstellar clouds, the energy density of cosmic rays, and the formation of stars (Beck 2005). The field associated with ionized interstellar gas has been determined through observations of pulsars in our Galaxy. Radio-frequency measurements of pulse dispersion and the rotation of the plane of linear polarization, i.e., Faraday rotation, yield an average value B ≈ 3 μG (Han et al. 2006). The possible detection of Faraday rotation of linearly polarized photons emitted by high-redshift quasars (Kronberg et al. 2008) suggests similar magnetic fields are present in foreground galaxies with redshifts z > 1. As Faraday rotation alone, however, determines neither the magnitude nor the redshift of the magnetic field, the strength of galactic magnetic fields at redshifts z > 0 remains uncertain.Here we report a measurement of a magnetic field of B ≈ 84 μG in a galaxy at z =0.692, using the same Zeeman-splitting technique that revealed an average value of B = 6 μG in the neutral interstellar gas of our Galaxy (Heiles et al. 2004). This is unexpected, as the leading theory of magnetic field generation, the mean-field dynamo model, predicts large-scale magnetic fields to be weaker in the past, rather than stronger (Parker 1970).The full text of this paper was published in Nature (Wolfe et al. 2008).

В динамической модели -динамо с переменной интенсивностью -генератора моделируются инверсии магнитного поля. Изменение интенсивности -генератора как следствие синхронизации высших мод поля скоростей и магнитного поля регулируется функцией Z(t) со степенным ядром. Получены режимы динамо для двух видов радиальной составляющей в скалярной параметризации -эффекта. Проведён анализ результатов в зависимости от изменения показателя степени ядра функции Z(t), а также сравнительный анализ с результатами исследования 10, где использовано показательное ядро функциии Z(t). In the dynamic model -dimensions are simulated reversions of the magnetic field with a varying intensity of the -generator. The change of the -generator intensity as a result of synchronization of higher modes of the velocity field and the magnetic field is regulated by a function Z(t) with a power kernel. Dynamo modes are obtained for two types of radial component in the scalar parameterization of the -effect. The results were analyzed depending on the change in the exponent of the kernel of the function Z(t), also a comparative analysis with the results of the study 10, where the exponential kernel of the function Z(t) was used.

The Magnetic Field

As a promising new way to generate a controllable strong magnetic field, laser-driven magnetic coils have attracted interest in many research fields. In 2013, a kilotesla level magnetic field was achieved at the Gekko XII laser facility with a capacitor–coil target. A similar approach has been adopted in a number of laboratories, with a variety of targets of different shapes. The peak strength of the magnetic field varies from a few tesla to kilotesla, with different spatio-temporal ranges. The differences are determined by the target geometry and the parameters of the incident laser. Here we present a review of the results of recent experimental studies of laser-driven magnetic field generation, as well as a discussion of the diagnostic techniques required for such rapidly changing magnetic fields. As an extension of the magnetic field generation, some applications are discussed.

In the dynamic model αΩ-dimensions are simulated reversions of the magnetic field with a varying intensity of the α-generator. The change of the α-generator intensity as a result of synchronization of higher modes of the velocity field and the magnetic field is regulated by a function Z(t) with a power kernel. Dynamo modes are obtained for two types of radial component in the scalar parameterization of the α-effect. The results were analyzed depending on the change in the exponent of the kernel of the function Z(t) and the type of the power kernel, also a comparative analysis with the results of the study [9], where the exponential kernel of the function Z(t) was used.
