The Dirichlet problem for the generalized bi-axially symmetric Helmholtz equation

In [18], fundamental solutions for the generalized bi-axially symmetric Helmholtz equation were constructed in $R_2^ + = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x > 0,y > 0} \right\}.$ They contain Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions in three variables. In this paper, using one of the constructed fundamental solutions, the Dirichlet problem is solved in the domain $\Omega \subset R_2^ +.$ Using the method of Green's functions, solution of this problem is found in an explicit form.Comment: 11 page

Statistical properties of Faraday rotation measure from large-scale magnetic fields in intervening disc galaxies

To constrain the large-scale magnetic field strengths in cosmologically distant galax- ies, we derive the probability distribution function of Faraday rotation measure (RM) when random lines of sight pass through a sample of disc galaxies, with axisymmetric large-scale magnetic fields. We find that the width of the RM distribution of the galaxy sample is directly related to the mean large-scale field strength of the galaxy population, provided the dispersion within the sample is lower than the mean value. In the absence of additional constraints on parameters describing the magneto-ionic medium of the intervening galaxies, and in the situation where RMs produced in the intervening galaxies have already been statistically isolated from other RM contributions along the lines of sight, our simple model of the magneto-ionic medium in disc galaxies suggests that the mean large-scale magnetic field of the population can be measured to within ~ 50% accuracy.Comment: 4 pages, Proceedings of FM8 "New Insights in Extragalactic Magnetic Fields", XXXth General Assembly of the IAU, Vienna, August 20-31, 201
