Star formation and galactic dynamo model with helicity fluxes

We propose a possible scenario of large-scale magnetic field evolution for galaxies with star formation. An important point affecting the results of our calculations is a parametrization of dynamo-governing quantities. In comparison with previous works, we have reconsidered the views of how star formation affects the stationary magnetic field strength, viscosity, and other parameters important for galactic dynamos. The calculations have been performed by taking into account the magnetic helicity fluxes, which introduce an additional nonlinearity into the model and change the regime of galactic dynamo action. We have confirmed the previously suggested idea that for weak star formation its influence on the magnetic field strength is minor and the relationship between them clearly manifests itself only when the star formation rate reaches a certain threshold value. In this case, on the one hand, the threshold lowers-this effect manifests itself at a star formation surface density greater than that in the Milky Way by a factor of 5. On the other hand, intense star formation can cause both a monotonic decay of the large-scale magnetic field and its oscillations near some value.
