Perseus is an outstanding case in which to study the physics of
relativistic plasma and thermal gas, and the interplay between
galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters. Ground and space observatories
have recently provided some ground-breaking insights into the
Perseus system, from a detailed image of a jet launched in the
vicinity of a supermassive black hole, through VLBI, to an
unexpected degree of turbulence in the cluster core, constrained by
high energy resolution in x-rays. While preparing for the next
generation observatories that will allow readers to address these
questions in other systems, this volume provides some first steps
in exploring topics relating to particle acceleration, energy
transport between large and small scales and the role of magnetic
fields in the launch of relativistic jets. Chapters deal with the
latest results covering theory, observations, and numerical
simulations, spanning a wide range in physical scales and energy
ranges.
