Modern observations, including recent ones with the Hubble Space
Telescope, have revealed that the Universe is replete with plasma
outflows from all kinds of objects, ranging from stars in all their
variety to galaxies. In this masterly survey of plasma
astrophysics, written by leading practitioners, the first 15
articles in Part I deal with the use of the MHD approach in several
key problems of solar plasma, such as magnetoconvection and
magnetic field generation, sunspots and coronal loops, magnetic
nonequilibrium and coronal heating, coronal mass ejections, the
acceleration of the solar wind, and stellar winds across the Main
Sequence. The following 16 articles of Part II deal with the use of
the same MHD approach in several central and puzzling aspects of
more distant astrophysical plasmas, such as the dynamics of the
interstellar medium, collimated outflows from young stellar objects
and accretion disks, molecular outflows and jets associated with
enigmatic binaries and symbiotic stars, relativistic flows
associated with superluminal microquasars in our own galaxy,
astrophysical jets from nearby galaxies, or remote active galactic
nuclei and quasars, probably fuelled by supermassive black holes.
The emphasis throughout is on the striking underlying similarities
in the physics of all these problems. Audience: Indispensable for
solar physicists and astrophysics alike. An ideal textbook for
graduate students in physics and astrophysics.
