Abstract
The observed correlation of the angular momenta L ik and magnetic moments μ lm of celestial bodies (the Sun, planets and stars) was discussed by many authors but without any explanation. In this paper , a possible explanation of this phenomenon is suggested. It is shown that the function satisf ies Maxwell equations and can be considered as a function which determines the electro-magnetic properties of rotating heavy bodies. The R iklm is the Riemann tensor, which determines the gravitational field of the body, r g is the gravitational radius of the body, and η is the constant which has to be determined by observations. The field Φ lm describes the observed correlation. It explains the stability of magnetic field of white dwarfs and neutron stars despite the ohmic dissipation. The function Φ l 0 describes the electric field created by rotating heavy bodies. The presented theory does not contradict any existed experiments and observations.
