This book offers eleven coordinated reviews on multi-scale structure formation in cosmic plasmas in the Universe. Observations and theories of plasma structures are presented in all relevant astrophysical contexts, from the Earth's magnetosphere through heliospheric and galactic scales to clusters of galaxies and the large scale structure of the Universe. Basic processes in cosmic plasmas starting from electric currents and the helicity concept governing the dynamics of magnetic structures in planet magnetospheres, stellar winds, and relativistic plasma outflows like pulsar wind nebulae and Active Galactic Nuclei jets are covered.
The multi-wavelength view from the radio to gamma-rays with modern high resolution telescopes discussed in the book reveals a beautiful and highly informative picture of both coherent and chaotic plasma structures tightly connected by strong mutual influence. The authors are all leading scientists in their fields, making this book an authoritative, up-to-date and enduring contribution to astrophysics.Andrei Bykov is head of the High Energy
Astrophysics laboratory in the Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology, Russian Academy
of Sciences and professor of St.Petersburg State Politechnical
University. His principal research interests are
theory and observations of processes in astrophysical objects with extreme energy release - supernovae, gamma-ray
bursts and clusters of galaxies. He is author and coauthor of over 200
scientific publications, a book Turbulence, Current Sheets and Shocks in Cosmic Plasma and editor
of four books on high energy astrophysics.
Jonathan Eastwood is a lecturer in
the Department of Physics at Imperial College London where he is a member of
the Space and Atmospheric Physics research group. He has previously worked at
UC Berkeley and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. In 2012 he was the recipient
of the COSPAR Zeldovich medal (Commission D) in recognition of his research
into the physics of magnetic reconnection and collisionless shocks using
satellite data.
Jelle Kaastra (PhD 1985, Utrecht
University) is a senior scientist at SRON, the Netherlands Institute for Space
Research and professor of high-energy astrophysics at
He is an expert on high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of cosmic plasmas, and is
currently principal investigator of the Reflection Grating Spectrometer on
XMM-Newton and the Low-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on Chandra. He
has an active track record on clusters of galaxies, active galactic nuclei and
X-ray models for cosmic plasmas.
