星系际磁场观测的基本意义

Fundamental Implications of Intergalactic Magnetic Field Observations

Tanmay Vachaspati

摘要:

螺旋星系际磁场在$\sim 10^{-14}~{\rm G}$水平上的$\sim 10~{\rm Mpc}$长度尺度上的当前伽玛射线观测表明。宇宙空洞中磁场的存在及其非平凡的螺旋性表明,它们一定起源于早期宇宙,因此对基本相互作用有影响。我结合目前的观测约束和宇宙学磁场的动力学知识,推导出需要解释的磁场产生机制的特性。指出了CP破坏的重要性和手征效应在早期宇宙中可能的关键作用。

英文摘要:

Helical intergalactic magnetic fields at the $\sim 10^{-14}~{\rm G}$ level on $\sim 10~{\rm Mpc}$ length scales are indicated by current gamma ray observations. The existence of magnetic fields in cosmic voids and their non-trivial helicity suggest that they must have originated in the early universe and thus have implications for the fundamental interactions. I combine present knowledge of the observational constraints and the dynamics of cosmological magnetic fields to derive characteristics that would need to be explained by the magnetic field generation mechanism. The importance of CP violation and a possible crucial role for chiral effects in the early universe are pointed out.
