Intrinsic magnetic fields, corresponding to virtual axial dipole moments of the order of 10^20^ Am^2^, have recently been evidenced for the Jovian satellites Io and Ganymede. By reviewing the rock magnetic and palaeomagnetic properties together with the history of Io, the hypothesis of a moment due
## Abstract The dynamo effect is numerically simulated for a model of the Karlsruhe dynamo. A flow periodic in two directions and independent of the third coordinate is considered. Each periodicity cell contains four helical vortices. The novelty of the model is that it includes cylindrical walls e
## Abstract Some common properties of helical magnetic fields in decaying and driven turbulence are discussed. These include mainly the inverse cascade that produces fields on progressively larger scales. Magnetic helicity also restricts the evolution of the largeβscale field: the field decays less
## Abstract We discuss nonlinear meanβfield galactic dynamo models and associate a universal mechanism for saturation of the dynamo with the transport of magnetic helicity. The crucial point for saturation of the dynamo is the existence of a nonβzero flux of magnetic helicity. We demonstrate that t
