Astrophysical jets are spectacular displays of gas or dust ejected
from a range of cosmic bodies; they are seemingly ubiquitous on
scales from comets to black holes. This volume reviews our
understanding of jet processes and provides a modern guide to their
observation and the role they play in many long-standing problems
in astrophysics. It covers the major discoveries in gamma-ray
bursts, solar and stellar jets and cometary jets. Specific physical
processes for all classes of jet are illustrated and discussed in
depth, as a backdrop to explaining spectacular jet images. Current
jet models raise as many issues as they solve, so the final chapter
looks at the new questions to be answered. Written at an entry
level for postgraduate students, this volume incorporates
introductions to all the governing physics, providing a
comprehensive and insightful guide to the study of jets for
researchers across all branches of astrophysics.
