Galactic dynamos supported by magnetic helicity fluxes
Sharanya Sur, Anvar Shukurov, Kandaswamy Subramanian
We present a simple semi-analytical model of nonlinear, mean-field galactic dynamos and use it to study the effects of various magnetic helicity fluxes. The dynamo equations are re…
Introduction to galactic dynamos
Anvar Shukurov
A review of galactic magnetic fields is given with emphasis on simple analytical solutions of relevant equations and detailed comparison with observations. It is shown that mean-fi…
Global Magnetic Structures in Spiral Galaxies: Evidence for Dynamo Action
Anvar Shukurov
Observational evidence for dynamo action in spiral galaxies is reviewed, and the capabilities of various theories in explaining the basic features of galactic magnetic fields are d…
A Dynamic Interstellar Medium: Recent Numerical Simulations
Anvar Shukurov
Recent numerical simulations of the interstellar medium driven by energy input from supernovae and stellar winds indicate that HI clouds can be formed by compression in shock waves…
Two-dimensional disk dynamos with vertical outflows into a halo
B. von Rekowski, W. Dobler, A. Shukurov +1
We study the effects of vertical outflows on mean-field dynamos in disks. These outflows could be due to thermal winds or magnetic buoyancy. We analyse numerical solutions of the n…
