Today many scientists recognize plasma as the key element to
understanding new observations in near-Earth, interplanetary,
interstellar, and intergalactic space; in stars, galaxies, and
clusters of galaxies, and throughout the observable universe.
Physics of the Plasma Universe, 2nd Edition is an update of
observations made across the entire cosmic electromagnetic spectrum
over the two decades since the publication of the first edition. It
addresses paradigm changing discoveries made by telescopes,
planetary probes, satellites, and radio and space telescopes. The
contents are the result of the author's 37 years research at
Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories, and the U.S.
Department of Energy. This book covers topics such as the
large-scale structure and the filamentary universe; the formation
of magnetic fields and galaxies, active galactic nuclei and
quasars, the origin and abundance of light elements, star formation
and the evolution of solar systems, and cosmic rays. Chapters 8 and
9 are based on the research of Professor Gerrit Verschuur, and
reinvestigation of the manifestation of interstellar neutral
hydrogen filaments from radio astronomical observations are given.
Using data from the Green Bank 100-m telescope (GBT) of the
National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), detailed information
is presented for a non-cosmological origin for the cosmic microwave
background quadruple moment. This volume is aimed at graduate
students and researchers active in the areas of cosmic plasmas and
space science. The supercomputer and experimental work was carried
out within university, National laboratory, Department of Energy,
and supporting NASA facilities.
