In June of 1996, at the seaside resort of Guaruja, Brazil, a
renowned group of researchers in space and astrophysical plasmas
met to provide a forum on advanced topics on astrophysical and
space plasmas at a school consisting of some 60 students and
teachers, mainly from Brazil and Argentina, but also from all the
other parts of the globe. The purpose was to provide an update on
the latest theories, observations, and simulations of
space-astrophysical plasma phenomena. The topics covered included:
space plasma mechanisms for particle acceleration, nonthermal
emission in cosmic plasma, magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in
solar, interstellar, and other cosmic objects, magnetic field line
reconnection and merging, the nonlinear and often chaotic structure
of astrophysical plasmas, and the advances in high performance
supercomputing resources to replicate the observed phenomena. The
lectures were presented by Professor Mark Birkinshaw of the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the University of
Bristol; Dr Anthony Peratt, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Scientific Advisor to the United States Department of Energy; Dr
Dieter Biskamp of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics,
Garching, Germany; Professor Donald Melrose, Director, Centre for
Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Sydney, Australia;
Professor Abraham Chian of the National Institute for Space
Research, Brazil; and Professor Nelson Fiedler-Ferrara of the
University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. As summarized by Professor Reuven
Opher, Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, University of Sao
Paulo, the advanced or interested student of space and
astrophysical plasmas will find reference to nearly all modern
aspects in the field of Plasma Astrophysics and Cosmology in the
presented lectures.
