Rob and OBMYep;
I'm grateful for OBMYep putting us onto the work that Bryan Gaensler, Ray Norrs and Enno Middelberg are doing, on the unknown origin of large scale magnetism, which may end up going some of the way towards helping to describe (or disprove) the origins of some of the forces in Galaxy spiral shapes.
This thread seems to be a good one to post the following supplementary info on (just as a reminder for us all).
Here's what one of his PhD students has to say about the status of it all.
Here's a
one page summary for the POSSUM proposal (not yet approved).
I'm really looking forward to seeing more from these guys in the future.
Cheers
PS: Not that I'm turning into an Alex or anything !!
