Cosmological magnetic fields from nonlinear effects
Cosmological magnetic fields from nonlinear effects
In the standard cosmological model, magnetic fields and vorticity are generated during the radiation era via second-order density perturbations. In order to clarify the complicated physics of this second-order magnetogenesis, we use a covariant approach and present the electromagneto-dynamical equations in the nonlinear regime. We use the tight-coupling approximation to …
