The irregular polarity reversals of the Earth's magnetic field have attracted much interest during the last decades. Despite the fact that recent numerical simulations of the geodynamo have shown nice polarity transitions, the very reason…
We give a one-parameter family of exact solutions to four-dimensional higher-spin gauge theory invariant under a deformed higher-spin extension of SO(3,1) and parameterized by a zero-form invariant. All higher-spin gauge fields vanish,…
It is generally agreed that the rotational velocities of spiral galaxies indicate that a lot of matter is unseen. Hitherto, the majority of these mass models are all based on spherical symmetry, although this assumption is obviously not the…
N-body simulations show that when infall reorientates the outer parts of a galactic halo by several degrees per Gyr, a self-gravitating disk that is embedded in the halo develops an integral-sign warp that is comparable in amplitude to…
Shape Dynamics is a 3D conformally invariant theory of gravity which possesses a large set of solutions in common with General Relativity. When looked closely, these solutions are found to behave in surprising ways, so in order to probe the…
In the present paper we construct maps of polarized synchrotron radio emission of a whole galaxy, based on local models of the cosmic ray (CR) driven dynamo. We perform numerical simulations of the dynamo in local Cartesian domains, with…

All axisymmetric solutions to the near-horizon geometry equation with a cosmological constant defined on a topological $2$-sphere were derived. The regularity conditions preventing cone singularity at the poles were accounted for. The…
We formulate and solve by semi-analytic means the axisymmetric equilibria of relativistic self-similar disks of infinitesimal vertical thickness. These disks are supported in the horizontal directions against their self-gravity by a…
We discuss asymptotic solutions of the kinematic $\alpha\omega$-dynamo in a thin disc (slab). Focusing upon the strong dynamo regime, in which the dynamo number $D$ satisfies $|D|\gg1$, we resolve uncertainties in the earlier treatments and…
Magnetic fields correlated on several kiloparsec scales are seen in spiral galaxies. Their origin could be due to amplification of a small seed field by a turbulent galactic dynamo. We critically review the current status of the galactic…
We carried out global three-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of galactic gaseous disks to investigate how the galactic magnetic fields are amplified and maintained. We adopt a steady axisymmetric gravitational potential…
Numerical MHD simulations play increasingly important role for understanding mechanisms of stellar magnetism. We present simulations of convection and dynamos in density-stratified rotating spherical fluid shells. We employ a new 3D…
We conduct global galactic--scale magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of the cosmic--ray driven dynamo. We assume that exploding stars deposit small--scale, randomly oriented, dipolar magnetic fields into the differentially rotating…
We have obtained exact kink-like static plane-symmetric solutions to the self-consistent system of electromagnetic, scalar, and gravitational field equations. It was shown that under certain choice of the interaction Lagrangian the…
We present a suite of models of the coherent magnetic field of the Galaxy (GMF) based on new divergence-free parametric functions describing the global structure of the field. The model parameters are fit to the latest full-sky Faraday…
Galactic disks are highly responsive systems that often undergo external perturbations and subsequent collisionless equilibration, predominantly via phase-mixing. We use linear perturbation theory to study the response of infinite…
Aims. Galaxy mass models based on simple and analytical functions for the density and potential pairs have been widely proposed in the literature. Disk models constrained by kinematic data alone give information on the global disk structure…
We use numerical simulations to investigate the orientation of the angular momentum axis of disk galaxies relative to their surrounding large scale structure. We find that this is closely related to the spatial configuration at turnaround…
