Magnetic Fields in Clusters: Theory vs. Observations
Abstract
Description
It is now well established that the plasma in galaxy clusters is magnetized. In some cases, at least, the field is strong enough to be dynamically important. Perhaps this is the time to move past simple detection experiments, and to work towards a general understanding of the strength, structure and maintenance of the cluster field.
