Abstract

It has become quite clear that dynamically significant magnetic fields of order 10−6 Gauss are present in galactic halos (Perry, these Proceedings) at redshifts up to z ≥ 2. Comparable fields have been detected on cluster and even on supercluster scales (Giovannini, these Proceedings). The existence of such high fields is surprising because it is highly unlikely that primeval magnetic fields could have been much stronger than 10–18 Gauss. These …
