Seed magnetic fields in turbulent small-scale dynamos

Amit Seta, Christoph Federrath

Magnetic fields in galaxies and galaxy clusters are amplified from a very weak seed value to the observed strengths by the turbulent dynamo. The seed magnetic field can…

Magnetic field fluctuations in anisotropic, supersonic turbulence

James R. Beattie, Christoph Federrath, Amit Seta

The rich structure that we observe in molecular clouds is due to the interplay between strong magnetic fields and supersonic (turbulent) velocity fluctuations. The velocity fluctua…

On the saturation mechanism of the fluctuation dynamo at

Amit Seta, Paul J. Bushby, Anvar Shukurov +1

The presence of magnetic fields in many astrophysical objects is due to dynamo action, whereby a part of the kinetic energy is converted into magnetic energy. A turbulent dynamo th…

Revisiting the Equipartition Assumption in Star-forming Galaxies

Amit Seta, Rainer Beck

Energy equipartition between cosmic rays and magnetic fields is often assumed to infer magnetic field properties from the synchrotron observations of star-forming galaxies. However…

Relative distribution of cosmic rays and magnetic fields

Amit Seta, Anvar Shukurov, Toby S. Wood +2

Synchrotron radiation from cosmic rays is a key observational probe of the galactic magnetic field. Interpreting synchrotron emission data requires knowledge of the cosmic ray numb…
