Enhancement of Galactic Dynamos by Density Waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
We examine effects of density waves on the local galactic αω-dynamo. Oscillations of the magnetic field and the dynamo parameters due to the density wave perturbation irreversibly couple with the dynamo action to enhance the growth of the magnetic fields.
