2 PREAMBLE Most of visible matter in the Universe is in plasma state:  composed of ionized or partially ionized gas permeated by magnetic fields Alfvén, Biermann, Chandrasekhar and Parker knew that decades ago ! Mais de 90% da matéria visível do Universo encontra-se no estado de plasma, ou em outras palavras, é constituída de matéria parcial ou totalmente ionizada permeada por campos magnéticos. A importância dos campos magnéticos já era percebida a várias décadas atrás por visionários como Alfvén, Biermann, Chandrasekhar e Parker.

Processes related to star formation tangle the field lines, so that little polarization is observed in star-forming regions. The magnetic energy density in the inner disk of galaxies is larger than the thermal energy density, comparable to that of turbulent gas motions, and is dominant in the outer disk. Large-scale spiral patterns of the regular field are observed in grand-design, flocculent and even some irregular galaxies. In grand-design galaxies the regular fields are aligned parallel to the optical spiral arms, with the strongest regular fields (highest polarization) in interarm regions, sometimes forming magnetic spiral arms between the optical arms. Faraday rotation of the polarization vectors reveals patterns which are signatures of coherent large-scale fields in galactic disks, probably generated by dynamo action. The majority of field structures in galaxies requires a superposition of several dynamo modes. In barred galaxies the magnetic field is mostly aligned with the gas flow, deflected by shear and compressed in the shock. The regular field is already strong in the ``upstream'' region ahead of the shock. Within the circumnuclear ring the magnetic field is strong, with a regular component of spiral shape. Magnetic stress may drive inflow of gas towards the nucleus. -- Present-day radio polarimetry is limited by sensitivity. The next-generation radio telescope, the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), will be able to reveal the full wealth of magnetic structures in galaxies.

7 Measuring magnetic fields
Polarization: by aligned dust grains with B of ISM B Radiacao e polarizada direcao normal a propagacao (lv) Em geral "Unpolarized" light is a random mixture of light of all polarizations. When light has an easily observed dominant polarization, we refer to it as polarized. Quando luz nao polarizada de uma estrela atravessa poeira: graos com eixo menor alinhado com campo magnetico do MIS polarizam a radiacao, transmitindo radiacao polarizada na direcao paralela ao eixo menor do grao. Isso determina a distribuicao de B perpendicular a linha de visada. Magalhães 2005

13 Solar Magnetic Fields Silva, 2005 Magnetic fields are created by dynamo action in the convection zone, and rise up to the surface by magnetic buoyancy. In the atmosphere, plasma beta (pgas/pmag) becomes less than unity, i.e., a magnetically dominated gas layer is created, so that once magnetic energy is released, violent heating and mass ejection occur. This is why flares, corona, CMEs, and even solar wind occur. The same physical processesare expected to be occurring in many stars (especially in cool stars).

The dust polarization data north of the cores suggest that B is along the minor axis to the north of the cores. This morphology could be explained by a large-scale poloidal field with a toroidal field toward the cores produced by rotation of the double The CO and dust polarization maps suggest that magnetic fields are remarkably uniform throughout the region.

Pressure and ambipolar diffusion is important to provide star collapse). Triaxial cloud morphology due to compressible turbulence can account for this. Hybrid paradigm: compressible turbulence dominates in the diffuse ISM over gravity and magnetic B, sometimes form slef-gravitating clouds. HI clouds are precursors of molecular clouds: dominated by turbulence Turbulent flow: primarily along B lines (flux tubes) Magnetic pressure: resists compression normal to B. Aggregation of HI clouds into a single MC would lead to observed increase in M/(BA) ratio. Turbulence driven ambipolar diffusion may also occur in this phase.

44 Magnetic fields in our Galaxy
? Galactic magnetic field is the existence of multiple reversals along Galactic radius, derived from pulsar RM data [46], [30]. No such reversals were found so far in any external galaxy. To account for several large-scale reversals, a bisymmetric magnetic spiral with a small pitch angle ( However, the RM data from pulsars are still scarce. Only one large-scale reversal is statistically significant [24]. Furthermore, some of the field reversals may not be of galactic extent, but due to field distortions [42] or loops of the anisotropic turbulent field. In summary, the pattern of the large-scale regular magnetic field of the MilkyWay is still unknown. Sun is located between two spiral arms, the Sagittarius/Carina and the Perseus Dynamo: standard model predicts even parity no reversals of B; a primordial origin from compression of Bo + diff. Rotation may wrap B into bysymmetric spiral with reversals (M81, MW). Han et al. 2001

45 Magnetic fields in our Galaxy
Cosmic-ray energy density + radio synchrotron: <B> 6 G and in inner region: <B> 10 G Agrees with independent estimate of cosmic-ray electrons from bremsstrahlung γ-rays (Strong et al. 2000) The validity of the equipartition assumption can be tested in our Galaxy, because there is independent information about the local cosmic-ray energy density from in-situ measurements and from -ray bremsstrahlung data. Combination with the radio synchrotron data yields a local strength of the total field 6 micro G and 10 micro G in the inner Galaxy [56], similar to the values derived from energy equipartition (Berkhuijsen, in [4]) and similar to the values in other galaxies (Sect. 3). Rotation measure and dispersion measure data of pulsars give an average strength of the local regular field of 1.4 microG and 4.4 inner arrm (note measure from pulsar data is underestimated or overestimated if small-scale fluctuations in field strength and in electron density are anticorrelated or correlated, respectively Equipartition fields in the Galaxy (Berkhuijsen, priv. comm.)

48 Magnetic fields in Galaxies
Spiral patterns of regular B: observed in grand-design, flocculent and even in some irregular galaxies. Large-scale spiral patterns of the regular field are observed in grand-design, flocculent and even some irregular galaxies. In grand-design galaxies the regular fields are aligned parallel to the optical spiral arms, with the strongest regular fields (highest polarization) in interarm regions, sometimes forming magnetic spiral arms between the optical arms.

Turbulent fields are strongest in spiral arms (20 G): due to intense star formation, SN shocks. Regular fields are strongest in interarm regions (15 G) M51

55 Magnetic fields in Galaxies
Survey of 74 S galaxies (Niklas): <Btot> = 9 μG Starburst galaxies: B ≥ μG Nuclear starburst regions: B ≥ 100μG! Suggests B is essential in the deflagration of SBs and since SBs are believed to be the progenitors of spheroidal gals. And bulges, hence in the formation of spheroidal gals.! Why B intensity in gals. Concentrate in few microGauss? Totani suggested and generally agreeded that spheroidal gal. Formation occurs as a consequence of SBs triggered by strong Bs! Based this in 2 arguments: 1.B is around few microGauss always; 2. SF activity observed to be correlated with local B intensity!. Correlation may be due to magnetic braking: i.e., in order for the protogalaxy cloud to collapse a significant amount of angular momentum must be transferred outwards. Totani suggests that SBs, hence massive galaxy formation takes place only where B strong enough to provide magnetic braking and allow colapse at a critical value that happens to be of the order of few microGauss! A seed field could have been produced by a battery and then amplified by dynamo! Correlation B and SF! NGC1067: nuclear SB region

56 Magnetic fields in Galaxies
Outer regions: EB > Etherm : B affects gas rotation curve !? (Battaner & Florido 2000) Large-scale patterns in Faraday rotation measures RM, as observed e.g. in M 31 [14], show that the regular field in these galaxies has a coherent direction and hence is not generated by compression or stretching of turbulent fields in gas flows. The turbulent dynamo mechanism [9] is able to generate and preserve coherent magnetic fields, and these are of appropriate spiral shape. Battaner et al: in MW and NGC6946: clearly determined that magnetic field forces outside regions cannot be neglected in the dynamics and is competitive candidate to explain flatness of rotation curves !!  consistent with dynamo! EB ≈ Eturb

58 Magnetic fields in Galaxy Halos
B in Halos of galaxies with high SFR: correlated to diffuse ionized gas and X-rays (up to z=5 kpc) Several halos: v/z < 0 contribute to excitation of dynamo! Gaseous DIG halos are found in galaxies with sufficiently high SFR per unit area. Typically these layers of extraplanar DIG can be traced out to distances of z 1–2 kpc – sometimes even up to 5 kpc or more – from the mid-plane of the disk. In several galaxies the halo gas is observed to rotate slower than the gas in the disk with NGC5775 showing the largest gradient. This velocity gradient could contribute to the excitation of a global dynamo in disk galaxies. The highly structured dust distribution in the halos of some galaxies could be influenced by magnetic fields due the coupling of charged dust to both the radiation and magnetic fields. NGC (Dettmar 2005)

60 Do dynamos work in galaxies ?
YES: + Spiral fields occur almost everywhere, even in irregular galaxies and central rings ++ Magnetic arms occur between gas arms ++ Large-scale coherent fields exist ++ There is at least one case of a dominating axisymmetric mode (M31) The fact that there are magnetic arms between gas arms: suggests that a global dynamo mechanism is necessary. Reason: B fields could be produced by stars winds, jets and SN explosions but these are more intense within the arms; Coherent fileds mored difficult to produce in turbulent media. Require a dynamo action to produce large scale regular coherence.

61 Do dynamos work in galaxies ?
NO: - Single dominating modes are rare (nonlinear multiple dynamos? – Subramanian 1988) - Coherent fields surprisingly weak in galaxies with strong density waves (M51) (strong compression and/or shear?) Spiral fields extend well into the centers Fields are still strong in outer regions of galaxies (magneto-rotational instability?) Turbulent dynamo (Subramanian 1988): considers the standard dynamo model acting in different scales, of multiple cells, these micro-dynamos combine to build a large scale B

63 Magnetic fields in Clusters
A Coma Galaxies: aggregate in clusters in the large scale structure of Universe. MW for ex., belongs to a local group of gals. That belong to Virgo cluster. A cluster has typically 100 Mpc (3 million light-years). Can be regular (left) or irregular (right). B fields may have been generated by batteries powered by SBs, jet-lobe radio sources. Colgate & Li, proposed strong B in clusters produced by a dynamo operating in the accretion disk of the massive black hole in AGNs. However, the dynamics of process leading to the formation of BHs is still unclear and pre-existing Bs may be required to carry away the huge angular momentum of the falling matter. For the same reason pre-existing Bs may be required to trigger SBs. This suggests that seed fields before recombination may be required.

71 Magnetic fields in Early Universe
Universe History B fields may have been generated by batteries powered by SBs, jet-lobe radio sources. Colgate & Li, proposed strong B in clusters produced by a dynamo operating in the accretion disk of the massive black hole in AGNs. However, the dynamics of process leading to the formation of BHs is still unclear and pre-existing Bs may be required to carry away the huge angular momentum of the falling matter. For the same reason pre-existing Bs may be required to trigger SBs. This suggests that seed fields before recombination may be required.

72 Magnetic fields in Early Universe
RMs of distant quasars (z>1)  B in the past (Kronberg et al. 1992) 3C191 (z=1.945): B  G in L  15 kpc (galaxy size!) Young spiral galaxy (z=0.395): B  G B in gals. At high z’s (Kim 2005): Microgauss levels of the observed B-fields in radio gals at z=2 shorten the time available for dynamo action. To amplify a seed field by the alpha-omega dynamo mechanism with ~Gyr growth time, the strength of the seed field should be stronger than G. The growth time of B-field by SN-driven turbulence at least at a 100 pc scale is ~ 10 Myr. SN-driven turbulence may possibly amplify kpc-scale B-fields, which should be confirmed by numerical experiments with a bigger computational domain. SN-driven turbulence may play an important role in amplifying B-fields in many interesting astrophysical systems. B fields may have been generated by batteries powered by SBs, jet-lobe radio sources.

Pros: Large conductivity of plasma in Universe: diff = 4 L2 >> to    BA = constant Alternative to dynamo: If B is primordial  Bgal 10-6 G results from compression of primordial B: From B flux conservation and mass conservation we find eq. above.

Bprim,o  10-9 G !

74 Primordial Magnetic fields?
Constraints: CMBR: Primordial B would influence CMBR via:  breaking spatial isotropy  MHD effects temperature and polarization fluctuations CMBR CMB spectrum  Bo(50 Mpc) < 10-8 –10-9 G CMB: constrains B at the time of recombination el-proton Accoustic peaks: Primordial density fluctuations (necessary to explain obs. structures formation in the Universe) distort CMB spectrum introducing T fluctuationns , gravitational Doppler shift of photons in grav.

Fields must be average of tangled B (Grasso e Rubinstein) Only fields with scales >109 cm can survive, or there is no constraint on scale of primordial Bs: all can survive: primordial plasma can be magnetized without leaving inprint on CMB (only very small scales are dumped away)

76 Models for Primordial Magnetic fields
Inflation (breaking conformal invariance of electromagnetic field): Bo(1Mpc)  G! Too small to seed galactic dynamo QCD Phase transition (quarks combine to form hadrons, T= K): Bo(100kpc)  10-9 G (under extreme conditions! Sigl et al.) Biermann Batery (pxn≠0): Bo G (pre-galactic seed field is exponentially amplified by dynamo) Harrison effect: Bo G (pre-galactic seed field is amplified by dynamo) SN-driven turbulence (may amplify seed B-fields in 10 Myr only; Kim 2005) Why do we care about primordial magnetic fields? (shaposhnikov, 2004) Origin of galactic and cluster magnetic field? Probably, amplification of seed magnetic fields via galactic dynamo. Astrophysic origin of seeds: Biermann battery in intergalactic shocks, Harrison effect, stellar magnetic fields, supernova explosions, galactic outflows into intergalactic medium, quasar outflow of magnetized plasma,... Cosmology: Perhaps, seeds are coming from some peculiar processes in the early universe (primordial magnetic fields prior to recombination)? Magnetized plasma at early times? Change of a standard view on the evolution of the universe: inflation, cosmological phase transitions, baryogenesis, nucleosynthesis... Harison: Vorticidade do plasma primordial pre-estruturas and pressao de radiacao atuando mais fortemente sobre els que protons: geraria correntres e portanto campos B sementes. Problem with primordial Bs: the coherence length L at the time of generation cannot exceed radius of the Universe<<< when adiabatically scheduled for today the obtained cell sizes of coherence << cell sizes of B today observed in gals. And ICM Helicity may ease this problem: magnetic helicity (rotB. B) may help formation of large scale B structures starting from small ones ( INVERSE CASCADE) INFLATION: Offers solution to horizon flatness and homogeneity of the universe , quantum fluctuations produce large scale density perturbations drho/rho = 10-5. Quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic field could produce large scales Bs? Small coherence problem of primordial Bs: may be circumvented if production mechanism was not causal: possible if B produced during inflation by superadiabatic amplification of pre-exisiting quantum fluctuations IF gauge invariance of electromagnetic field is BROKEN QCD: bubble nucleation . As T cools below Tqcd, bubbles with hadrons grow as burning deflagration fronts and become supersonic ; shock re-heat the plasma stopping bubble grow. Transition ends when expansion wins and quark pockets are hadronized. E fields develop behind the shock fronts ahead of expanding bubbles create currencts and B=Ev is generated in small scales. Volume average of these fields Bqcd = 108G and under very special conditions with amplification by hydromagnetic instabilities, dynamo operation during QCD and inverse cascade: Sigl et al obtain Bqcd = 1017 G and today: 10-9 G B in gals. At high z’s (Kim 2005): Microgauss levels of the observed B-fields in radio gals at z=2 shorten the time available for dynamo action. To amplify a seed field by the alpha-omega dynamo mechanism with ~Gyr growth time, the strength of the seed field should be stronger than G. The growth time of B-field by SN-driven turbulence at least at a 100 pc scale is ~ 10 Myr. SN-driven turbulence may possibly amplify kpc-scale B-fields, which should be confirmed by numerical experiments with a bigger computational domain. SN-driven turbulence may play an important role in amplifying B-fields in many interesting astrophysical systems. On the other hand, B fields may be important to drive SF and starbursts! What came first?

77 Future Needs & Perspectives
Higher radio polarization sensitivity Higher angular resolution (to map wealth of magnetic structures in galaxies) High-frequency radio polarization observations have revealed the large-scale properties of the interstellar magnetic fields in many galaxies. Observations at better angular resolution are needed to map the full wealth of magnetic structures in galaxies. Furthermore, the velocity field of the gas should be measured in more detail, to provide input for dynamo and MHD models. In our Galaxy, we need polarization maps of selected regions at high frequencies and a much larger sample of RM data from pulsars. The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will detect more than pulsars in our Galaxy and allow to detect their rotation measures. The SKA will be able to map nearby galaxies with at least 10x better angular resolution compared to present-day radio telescopes, or 10x more distant galaxies with similar spatial resolution as today [7]. Magnetic field structures will illuminate the dynamical interplay of cosmic forces. The SKA’s sensitivity will allow to detect synchrotron emission from the most distant galaxies in the earliest stage of evolution and to search for the earliest magnetic fields and their origin. Cosmic Magnetism is one of the Key Science Projects for the SKA [26]. Beck 2005

83 Dynamo Mechanism Bp -effect BT -effect
Magnetic fields are created by dynamo action in the convection zone, and rise up to the surface by magnetic buoyancy. In the atmosphere, plasma beta (pgas/pmag) becomes less than unity, i.e., a magnetically dominated gas layer is created, so that once magnetic energy is released, violent heating and mass ejection occur. This is why flares, corona, CMEs, and even solar wind occur. The same physical processesare expected to be occurring in many stars (especially in cool stars). Similar, but more violent activity may be occurring in accretion disks and galactic disks (Fig. 1). As in lab., where electric generator may spring to life if rotated fast: current will be created in the wires and then B is created . The same ingredients in a star: conductive flow BT -effect
