Production of primordial magnetic field in protogalactic tori
Description
We show that in the early epoch of galaxy formation, non-electrical forces in radiation pressure supported tori can drive a poloidal electric current. This can generate a toroidal magnetic field which we interpret as the primordial 'seed' field. (author). 11 refs, 1 fig
