Spectra and growth rates of fluctuating magnetic fields in the kinematic dynamo theory with large magnetic prandtl numbers

The existence of a weak galactic magnetic field has been repeatedly confirmed by observational data. The origin of this field has not as yet been explained in a fully satisfactory way and represents one of the main challenges of the astrophysical dynamo theory. In both the galactic dynamo theory and...
