This course-tested textbook conveys the fundamentals of magnetic
fields and relativistic plasma in diffuse cosmic media, with a
primary focus on phenomena that have been observed at different
wavelengths. Theoretical concepts are addressed wherever necessary,
with derivations presented in sufficient detail to be generally
accessible. In the first few chapters the authors present an
introduction to various astrophysical phenomena related to cosmic
magnetism, with scales ranging from molecular clouds in
star-forming regions and supernova remnants in the Milky Way, to
clusters of galaxies. Later chapters address the role of magnetic
fields in the evolution of the interstellar medium, galaxies and
galaxy clusters. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate
and postgraduate students in astronomy and physics and will serve
as an entry point for those starting their first research projects
in the field.
