Magnetic fields are considered to be dominant when $\epsilon_{B}\geq\epsilon_{K}$, being $\epsilon_{B}=B^{2}/8\pi$ the magnetic energy density and $\epsilon_{K}=1/2 \rho\theta^{2}$ the rotation energy density, for a conventional moderate B=…

We study the effect of magnetic fields on a simulated galaxy and its surrounding gaseous halo, or circumgalactic medium (CGM), within cosmological 'zoom-in' simulations of a Milky Way-mass galaxy as part of the 'Simulating the Universe with…

Magnetic fields in galaxies are produced via the amplification of seed magnetic fields of unknown nature. The seed fields, which might exist in their initial form in the intergalactic medium, were never detected. We report a lower bound…
