초록

The energy injection of galactic black holes (BH) into the intergalactic medium via extragalactic radio source jets and lobes is sufficient to magnetize the IGM in the filaments and walls of Large Scale Structure at < [B] > ~ 0.lμG or more. It appears that this process of galaxy-IGM feedback is the primary source of IGM cosmic rays(CR) and magnetic field energy. Large scale gravitational infall energy serves to re-heat the intergalactic magnetoplasma in localities of space and time, maintaining or amplifying the IGM magnetic field, but this can be thought of as a secondary process. I briefly review observations that confirm IGM fields around this level, describe further Faraday rotation measurements in progress, and also the observational evidence that magnetic fields in galaxy systems around z=2 were approximately as strong then, ~ 10 Gyr ago, as now.
