Galactic Dynamo Theory

Galactic Dynamo Theory is a theoretical framework within astrophysics that explains the generation and maintenance of large-scale magnetic fields in galaxies through the conversion of kinetic energy from differential rotation and turbulent motions into magnetic energy via a self-sustaining dynamo process.
