OUTLINE Galactic magnetic field in halo Cosmic ray anisotropy Magnetic field induced by Cosmic ray flows Summary
3
Galactic magnetic field in halo The Galactic magnetic field (GMF) structure in the halo is revealed by the measures of the Faraday rotation of linearly polarized radiation from pulsars and extragalactic radio sources. The measurement suggests the GMF in the halo to be an anti-symmetric structure.

Magnetic field induced by Cosmic ray flows Parameterized model: Sun, X. H. & Reich,W. 2010, Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 10, 1287
9
Magnetic field induced by Cosmic ray flows So far, this calculation only contains the contribution of CR particles with a positive charge, without considering the abundant CR particles with a negative charge in our Galaxy. Another causation is the simplified extension of the local anisotropy to the whole Galaxy.
10
Summary Qualitatively, the CR streams inferred from the anisotropy of the GCRs can generate a large- scale magnetic field with a poloidal and toroidal structures consistent with the observations. Quantitatively, the strength of GMF induced by the current related to particles with energy above 100 GeV is approximately 20 times larger than that observed.
11
Summary The anisotropy of the GCR provides a new measure to study the Galactic electric current as well as a new window to understand the origin of the GMF. The agreement in the magnetic field structure between the model and the observations indicates that the extension of the local anisotropy to the whole Galaxy is reasonable. This will help in further understanding the origin of the anisotropy of the GCRs.
