Discoveries in extragalactic magnetic fields and related plasma and particle astrophysics

我的研究将探索磁场的作用和相关的磁现象 在外层空间的所有尺度上。 该方法是多学科的：它涉及天线工程概念的应用 世界上最大的射电望远镜，电磁能量转移的概念， 电子束和电离气体的行为直到最高（包括相对论） 能量 我们正在解决涉及复杂相互作用的深层谜团 磁场和中心黑洞产生的电离等离子体之间的关系 银河系。这些谜团的澄清可能会给我们提供理解的钥匙 如何使磁聚变能在地球上工作，并解释其机制 导致了磁等离子体能量在太空中的巨大转移。这反过来又 与星系和恒星（以及行星）如何产生的奥秘相互关联。 我有一个新发现，发表在2011年10月的《天体物理学杂志快报》上， 报告了第一次确定的电流在一个光束，传播到 从中央黑洞到星系际空间。它是最大的 测量的电流，~3 x 1，000，000，000，000，000安培（10^18安培）。 这将对我们的物理理解产生深远的影响， 发生强大的能量转移。

My research will explore and role of magnetic fields and related magnetic phenomena on all scales in outer space. The approach is multidisclipinary: It involves antenna engineering concepts applied to the World's largest radio telescopes, concepts of energy transfer by electomagnetic beams and the behaviour of ionized gases up to the highest (including relativistic) energies. We are on the path to solving deep mysteries involving the complex interactions between magnetic fields and ionized plasmas arising from the central Black Holes of galaxies. The clarification of these mysteries may give the key to understanding how to make magnetic fusion energy work on Earth, and explain the mechanisms causing the enormous transfers of magneto-plasma energy in space. This, in turn, is interconnected with the mystery of how galaxies and stars (and planets) arise. A new discovery I have made, published in Astrophysical Journal Letters October 2011, reports the first determination of the electric current in a beam that propagates into intergalactic space from the central Black Hole a galaxy. It is the largest electric current ever measured, ~3 x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Amps (10^18 ampères). It will have a profound effect on our physical understanding of how these most powerful energy transfers occur.
