Scientific paper

The characteristics of the superheavy magnetic monopoles (MMs) predicted by GUTs are reviewed, and recent developments in astrophysical MM search techniques are surveyed. Theoretical models of the birth, current distribution, and motion of MMs are examined; the observational implications of MM mass, magnetic charge, and ability to catalyze nucleon decay are considered; estimates of the average and local flux limits for MMs of 10 to the 25th eV are given (less than about 3 x 10 to the -15th and less than about 3 x 10 to the -11th/sq cm sr sec, respectively); and the possibility of detecting MMs in the sun (if they can escape annihilation there) is discussed.
