The purpose was to provide an update  on the latest theories, observations, and simulations of  space-astrophysical plasma phenomena. \u003cbr\u003e  The topics covered included space plasma mechanisms for particle  acceleration, nonthermal emission in cosmic plasma,  magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in solar, interstellar, and other  cosmic objects, magnetic field line reconnection and merging, the  nonlinear and often chaotic structure of astrophysical plasmas, and  the advances in high performance supercomputing resources to replicate  the observed phenomena. The lectures were presented by Professor Mark  Birkinshaw of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the  University of Bristol; Dr Anthony Peratt, Los Alamos National  Laboratory Scientific Advisor to the United States Department of  Energy; Dr Dieter Biskamp of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma  Physics, Garching, Germany; Professor Donald Melrose, Director, Centre  for Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Sydney, Australia;  Professor Abraham Chian of the National Institute for Space Research,  Brazil; and Professor Nelson Fiedler-Ferrara of the University of  São Paulo, Brazil. \u003cbr\u003e  As summarized by Professor Reuven Opher, Institute of Astronomy and  Geophysics, University of São Paulo, the advanced or interested  student of space and astrophysical plasmas will find reference to  nearly all modern aspects in the field of Plasma Astrophysics and  Cosmology in the presented lectures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401062992\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401062992\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5466-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 299\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44352412254348,"sku":"9789401062992","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401062992.jpg?v=1755114308","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401062992","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
