Magnetic fields in the first galaxies: Dynamo amplification and limits from reionization

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss the amplification of magnetic fields by the small-scale dynamo, a process that could efficiently produce strong magnetic fields in the first galaxies. In addition, we derive constraints on the primordial field strength from the epoch of reionization.
