Scientific paper

The evolution and amplification of large-scale magnetic fields in galaxies is investigated by means of high resolution simulations of interacting galaxies. The goal of our project is to consider in detail the role of gravitational interaction of galaxies for the fate of magnetic fields. Since the tidal interaction up to galaxy merging is a basic ingredient of cold-dark matter (CDM) structure formation models we think that our simulations will give important clues for the interplay of galactic dynamics and magnetic fields.
