Galactic dynamo seeds from non-superconducting spin-polarised strings

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Earlier Enqvist and Olesen have shown that formation of ferromagnetic planar walls in vacuum at GUT scales in comoving plasmas may generate a large scale magnetic field of Bnow≃10−14GB_{now}\simeq{10^{-14}G}. In this paper we show that starting from classical Einstein-Cartan-Maxwell strong gravity, a spin-polarised ferromagnetic cylinder gives rise to a cosmological magnetic field of the order Bnow≃10−22GB_{now}\simeq{10^{-22}G}. Vorticity of cylinder is used to obtain galactic magnetic fields. Magnetic fields up to B∼109GB\sim{10^{9}G} can be obtained from the spin density of the cylinder. If matching conditions are used cosmological magnetic fields of the order of B∼10−16RGausscmB\sim{10^{-16}R\frac{Gauss}{cm}} where RR is the radius of the cosmic strings. For a cosmic string with the radius of an hydrogen atom the cosmic magnetic field is B∼10−32GaussB\sim{10^{-32}Gauss} which is enough to seed galactic dynamos.
