Fast growth of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters: a self-accelerating dynamo
We propose a model of magnetic-field growth in galaxy clusters whereby the field is amplified by a factor of about 10^8 over a cosmologically short time of ~10^8 yr. Our model is based on the idea that the viscosity of the intracluster medium during the field-amplification epoch is determined not by...
