Cosmological and astrophysical implications of magnetic monopoles (open access)

Cosmological and astrophysical implications of magnetic monopoles

Among Dirac's many contributions to modern physics is the idea that charge quantization is natural in a theory with magnetic monopoles. The existence of magnetic monopoles would have drastic effects on the evolution of the universe, on galactic magnetic fields, and perhaps on the x-ray luminosity of neutron stars. Some astrophysical implications of massive magnetic monopoles are reviewed here.
