Scientific paper

A model for protogalactic star-forming regions is presented that assumes that self-gravitating isothermal clouds form by gravitational instability of cooling, shocked gas layers in the protogalaxy. This pregalactic environment is ideal for a dynamo mechanism to be operative. The dynamo requires a seed field whose origin is described. The results are applied to the problem of protogalactic star formation. The implications of the model for observations of protogalaxies and protogalactic magnetic fields are described.
