It is argued that large scale cosmic magnetic field could be generated in the primeval plasma slightly before hydrogen recombination. Non-zero vorticity, necessary for that, might be created by the photon diffusion in the second order in…

The magnetars are believed to be highly magnetized neutron stars having surface magnetic field 10^{14} - 10^{15} G. It is believed that at the center, the magnetic field may be higher than that at the surface. We study the effect of the…
We show that strong magnetic fields can be generated at shock waves associated with formation of galaxies or clusters of galaxies by the Weibel instability, an instability in collisionless plasmas. The estimated strength of the magnetic…
