Description

The standard models of particle physics and cosmology predict the existence of a cosmological magnetic field. Estimates of the magnetic field strength and coherence scale are derived from MHD simulations and new MHD invariants. Such magnetic fields are consistent with upper and lower bounds obtained from various cosmological observations.
