Description
Amplification of magnetic fields by differential rotation and feedback by magnetic instabilities is one of the main mechanisms for magnetizing a protoneutron star. I will discuss a recent revision of the Tayler instability of strong toroidal fields and its implications for the stably stratified interior of protoneutron stars. If time permits, I will briefly highlight new simulations quantifying the efficiency of the chiral dynamo instability.
