Non-linear dynamo action and disc-halo interaction in disc galaxies

We present an observationally constrained model of mass outflow for galactic discs, derived from star formation rate. This is used to supplement a model of the non-linear, mean-field, α2Ω galactic dynamo in the presence of shear. Outflows affect the magnetic pitch angles unexpectedly. This resolves...
