In May 1998 a hundred renowned scientists from 20 different
countries met at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Aeronomie to
communicate their latest results and ideas in astrophysical and
space plasma, as a follow-up to previous similar meetings which
were held in Varenna, Abastumai, Potsdam, Toki and Guaruja. The
main papers emerging from this meeting are collected in this
volume. They deal with fundamental plasma phenomena, particle and
radiation processes in astrophysics and space physics as the origin
of magnetic activity, the basic mechanisms of particle acceleration
and plasma heating common to plasma in galaxies and at the sun as
well as in planetary magnetospheres. New observational results from
YOHKOH, SOHO and other missions are presented. Using these, the
basic physical processes leading to coronal heating and
solar/stellar wind acceleration are discussed. Other topics are the
microphysics of shock waves and transport phenomena in
collisionless plasmas and the physics of thin plasma boundaries.
The volume also treats the ionic composition of plasma and dust in
the Universe and their observability in the solar system. A CD-ROM
is attached which adds a valuable multimedia component,
illuminating results of observations, theory and simulations.
Everyone interested in astrophysical plasmas, its radiation and
charged particle aspects, and advanced or even beginning students
will find references to nearly all modern aspects of plasma
astrophysics and space physics as well as an overview of current
research results.
