Astronomical jets are key astrophysical phenomena observed in
gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei or young stars. Research
on them has largely occurred within the domains of astronomical
observations, astrophysical modeling and numerical simulations, but
the recent advent of high energy density facilities has added
experimental control to jet studies. Front-line research on jet
launching and collimation requires a highly interdisciplinary
approach and an elevated level of sophistication. Bridging the gaps
between pure magnetohydrodynamics, thermo-chemical evolution, high
angular resolution spectro-imaging and laboratory experiments is no
small matter. This volume strives to bridge those very gaps. It
offers a series of lectures which, taken as whole, act as a
thorough reference for the foundations of this discipline. These
lectures address the following: * laboratory jets physics from
laser and z-pinch plasma experiments, * the magnetohydrodynamic
theory of relativistic and non-relativistic stationary jets, *
heating mechanisms in magnetohydrodynamic jets, from the solar
magnetic reconnection to the molecular shock heating perspectives,
* atomic and molecular microphysics of jet shocked material. In
addition to the lectures, the book offers, in closing, a
presentation of a series of observational diagnostics, thus
allowing for the recovery of basic physical quantities from jet
emission lines.
