Magnetohydrodynamic effects on the growth of condensations in an expanding universe and the formation of galaxies
We review evidence for the existence of the Galaxy's (Milky Way's) magnetic field and the evidence for an intergalactic magnetic field permeating an ionized inter-galactic medium. The magnetohydrodynamics of such an inter-galactic medium during the post-recombination expansion and the effects of MHD on the formation of galaxies are then considered: isotropic cosmologies, the interaction of magnetic fields with isotropic backgrounds, detailed MHD perturbation computations, and an analysis of related MHD galaxy-formation studies.
