Mathematical Aspects of Natural Dynamos

2014-05-12T14:50:16Z

For centuries it has been known that astrophysical bodies, ranging from planets to stars and galaxies, generate magnetic fields. Indeed the very existence of the Earth's magnetic field has enabled travelers and explorers to determine their direction by use of the compass. Despite our long familiarity with the Earth's magnetic field, its origin together with that of other celestial bodies remains a very challenging problem. What is now known, however, is that these magnetic fields are (...)
