Presents a comprehensive review of physical processes in
astrophysical plasmas.
This title presents a review of the detailed aspects of the
physical processes that underlie the observed properties,
structures and dynamics of cosmic plasmas. An assessment of the
status of understanding of microscale processes in all
astrophysical collisionless plasmas is provided. The topics
discussed includeturbulence in astrophysical and solar system
plasmas as a phenomenological description of their dynamic
properties on all scales;observational, theoretical and modelling
aspects of collisionless magnetic reconnection; the formation and
dynamics of shock waves; and a review and assessment of
microprocesses, such as the hierarchy of plasma instabilities,
non-local and non-diffusive transport processes and ionisation and
radiation processes.In addition, some of the lessons that have been
learned from the extensive existing knowledge of laboratory plasmas
as applied to astrophysical problems are also covered.This volume
is aimed at graduate students and researchers active in the areas
of cosmic plasmas and space science.Originally published in Space
Science Reviews journal, Vol. 278/2-4, 2013."
