Context. The recently developed test-field method permits to compute dynamo coefficients from global, direct numerical simulations. The subsequent use of these parameters in mean-field models enables us to compare self-consistent dynamo…

Constraining dynamo theories of magnetic field origin by observation is indispensable but challenging, in part because the basic quantities measured by observers and predicted by modelers are different. We clarify these differences and…
We present general and global analytical solutions, valid from pole to equator, for the asymptotic structure of non-relativistic, rotating, stationary, axisymmetric, polytropic, unconfined, perfect MHD winds. The asymptotic structure of…
We use the mean-field dynamo equations to show that an incoherent alpha effect in mirror-symmetric turbulence in a shearing flow can generate a large scale, coherent magnetic field. We illustrate this effect with simulations of a few simple…
Our attention focuses on the stochastic dynamo equation with non-normal operator that give an insight into the role of stochastics and non-normality in the galactic magnetic field generation. The main point of this Letter is a discussion of…

This paper outlines an exact analytic model for self-gravitating thin disc galaxies with flat rotation curves. It is shown that thin discs of matter alone can support perfectly flat rotation curves under Newtonian gravity, without needing…
Spiral galaxies, including the Milky Way, have large-scale magnetic fields with significant energy densities. The dominant theory attributes these magnetic fields to a large-scale dynamo. We review the current status of dynamo theory and…
