The Generation of Cosmic Magnetic Fields

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
From the Sun to the Great Attractor

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 556))

Abstract

Most of the magnetic fields of cosmic objects are generated and maintained by dynamo action of the motions of electrically conducting fluids. A brief survey on observational facts concerning cosmic magnetic fields is given. Some basic principles of magnetofluiddynamics are explained. On this basis essential features of the dynamo theory of cosmic objects are developed, first on the kinematic level and later taking into account the full interaction between magnetic field and motion. Particular attention is paid on mean-field electrodynamics and mean-field magnetofluiddynamics and their application to mean-field dynamo models for objects showing irregular or turbulent motions and magnetic fields. A few explanations are given on dynamos in the Earth and the planets, in the Sun and stellar objects and in galaxies.
