This Symposium, the first devoted entirely to the measurement and
the role of magnetic fields in the non-solar Universe, was held in
Heidelberg, on June 19-23, 1989. The meeting began with review
talks on magnetic phenomena near the solar photosphere, corona, and
in stellar winds, since these nearby "laboratories," studied for
many years, provide much of the prior knowl edge of magnetic
effects in astrophysical plasmas. The Symposium contained
presentations of considerable new work concerning the role of
magnetic fields in accretion disks, bipolar outflows, and related
magnetic phenomena in molecular clouds and star forming regions.
Both observa tions and related theory of the large-scale magnetic
fields in the Milky Way were covered, in addition to a session on
the more general theme of magnetohydrodynamics of galactic magnetic
fields. Dynamo mechanisms were discussed in considerable detail. It
was apparent that recent observational data on polarized emission
from external galaxies are now of sufficiently high quality that
meaningful tests of large-scale field amplification, and of ideas
on the origin of galactic magnetic fields, can be undertaken. Both
new observations and numerical simulation work were described in
the context of active galaxy nuclei, supernova remnants, radio
source jets and extended lobes, and also in the environment of
galaxy clusters. Recent large-scale computer simulations
incorporating magnetic fields in star formation, radio source jets,
and many other phenomena were presented, and much of this was very
new."
