Scientific paper

The concept of the turbulent dynamo in interstellar gas combined with the discovery of global magnetic structures in spiral galaxies has led to a consistent picture of galactic magnetism. Large-scale magnetic fields are generated and maintained by helical turbulent motions of interstellar gas and by differential galactic rotation. Seed fields for the dynamo can be produced by outflows from supernovae and hot young stars.
