      Magnetism and the Rotation of Celestial Bodies
      TLDR
      Blackett's formula, which seeks to connect the angular momentum of such a body with its magnetic moment, is based on the idea of a radial separation of electric charge associated with degenerate matter in the interior of rotating celestial bodies. Expand
      The Fundamental Relation between the Magnetic Moment and the Structure of Rotating Celestial Bodies
      BLACKETT'S suggestive formula1 connecting the magnetic moment of a rotating celestial body P with its angular momentum U, where G represents the constant of gravitation, c the velocity of light and β… Expand

      In this report we consider the origin of the magnetic moment and the magnetic field of rotating bodies which are arising from charges separation and associated with the Lorentz force. Mechanisms of… Expand
      On steady plane rotating hydromagnetic flows
      We consider the steady plane rotating, constantly inclined magnetohydrodynamic flows of a viscous incompressible fluid when the velocity magnitude is constant on each individual stream line.… Expand
      Magnetic fields in White Dwarfs and their direct progenitors
      Abstract The paper provides an overview on the results of the analyses of spectro-polarimetric observations of white dwarfs, subdwarfs, and central stars of planetary nebulae. It will also discuss… Expand
      Planetary magnetospheres: a comparative view.
      There are eight large bodies in the solar system about which definite statements regarding the existence or nonexistence of a magnetic field of internal origin can now be made. Of these bodies (Sun,… Expand
      Magnetic fields in the early universe
      SummaryWe consider some mechanisms which can be responsible for the formation of a magnetic field in the early universe. It happens that introducing the spin-torsion coupling interaction a magnetic… Expand
      Magnetism of Celestial Bodies and Gravitation
      BLACKETT'S formula1 involving a relation between mechanical and electromagnetic quantities seems to indicate a new kind of connexion between gravitation and electromagnetism. This appears more… Expand
      Theoretical interpretation of cosmic magnetic fields
      The paper discusses the possibilty of interpreting the magnetic fields of astronomical bodies in the framework of a unified field theory.Using one of the solutions of the generalized field theory, a… Expand

      An Experiment on the Origin of the Earth's Magnetic Field
      Of the many suggestions which have been made as to the origin of the earth’s magnetic field, perhaps the most promising is that it may be due to a slight modification of the laws of electrodynamics… Expand
