Title: The Origin of Large Scale Magnetic Fields


Speaker: Dr. Ethan Vishniac


Institute: John Hopkins University


Location: ABB 102


Description:


Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in astrophysics, but their dynamics and origin are controversial. I will discuss recent developments in dynamo theory, the origin of galactic magnetic fields, and the implications of this work for observations of the early universe.
