Studying Magnetic Field Amplification in Interacting Galaxies Using Numerical Simulations
Abstract
There are indications that the magnetic field evolution in galaxies might be massively shaped by tidal interactions and mergers between galaxies. The details of the connection between the evolution of magnetic fields and that of their host galaxies is still a field of research.
