Finding Evidence for Inflation and the Origin of Galactic Magnetic Fields with CMB Surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Sayan Mandal, Neelima Sehgal, Toshiya Namikawa, , | Summary: The origin of the $mumathrm{G}$ magnetic fields observed in galaxies is unknown. One promising scenario is that magnetic fields generated during inflation, larger than 0.1 $mathrm{nG}$ on Mpc scales, were adiabatically compressed to $mumathrm{G}$ strengths in galaxies during […]

Cosmology with one galaxy?

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Jupiter Ding, Shy Genel, Stephanie Tonnesen, Valentina La Torre | Summary: Galaxies can be characterized by many internal properties such as stellar mass, gas metallicity, and star-formation rate. We quantify the amount of cosmological and astrophysical information that the internal properties of individual galaxies […]
