Astrophysical observations indicate that almost all environments in the Universe are magnetized, and the more we search for extragalactic fields, the more pervading they are revealed to be. The next logical step is to ask why these large-scale magnetic fields are ubiquitous in a Universe as diverse as ours and how did these fields originate? This thesis attempts to answer this question, using second-order gauge-invariant perturbation theory to develop a self-consistent framework in which the non-linear coupling between inflationary gravitational waves and primordial large-scale magnetic fields…mehr

Astrophysical observations indicate that almost all environments in the Universe are magnetized, and the more we search for extragalactic fields, the more pervading they are revealed to be. The next logical step is to ask why these large-scale magnetic fields are ubiquitous in a Universe as diverse as ours and how did these fields originate? This thesis attempts to answer this question, using second-order gauge-invariant perturbation theory to develop a self-consistent framework in which the non-linear coupling between inflationary gravitational waves and primordial large-scale magnetic fields can be studied. The magnetic-gravito interaction is shown to produce a sufficient amplification of both a homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic field to within the strength limits required to support the galactic dynamo.

Autorenporträt
After completing an MSc at the University of Cape Town, Dr Zunckel went on to earn a PhD in Astrophysics from Oxford University as a Domus A scholar at Merton College. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University, returning home in 2010 to complete her fellowship at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where she is currently a lecturer.
