Constraining the Astrophysical Origin of Intergalactic Magnetic Fields

Constraining the Astrophysical Origin of Intergalactic Magnetic Fields

High-energy photons can produce electron–positron pairs upon interacting with the extragalactic background light. These pairs will in turn be deflected by the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF), before possibly up-scattering photons of the cosmic microwave background, thereby initiating an electrom...
