In May 1986 a two-day workshop on Physical Processes in Comets, Stars and Active Galaxies was held at the Ringberg Castle near Lake Tegernsee, and this rather unusml. l collection of topics needs a few words of explanation. When we first thought of organizing a workshop on such a large variety of astrophysical objects our main motivation was to honor Rudolf Kippenhahn and Hermann Ulrich Schmidt on the occasion of their 60th birthdays, and we planned to cover at least a fraction of their fields of active research. We then realized immediately that despite the fact that the objects are so different, the physical processes involved are very much the same, and that it is this aspect of astrophysics which governed the scientific lives of both of our distinguished colleagues and friends and allowed them to make major contributions to all those fields. Apparently this viewpoint was shared by many colleagues and it was therefore not surprising that in response to our invitation everybodywho had been invited agreed to come and to present a talk. The workshop then turned out to be a real success. In contrast to highly specialized conferences, fundamental problems as well as very recent devel opments were discussed and the participants appreciated the opportunity to exchange ideas.
This volume contains the lectures presented at a workshop at Ringberg Castle in 1986 on Interstellar Magnetic Fields on the occasion of the 60th birthdays of Rudolf Kippenhahn and Hermann Ulrich Schmidt. It covers a wide span of seemingly disparate topics ranging from comets, the sun, single and binary stars to active galactic nuclei. Although the astrophysical objects addressed are quite different, the physical processes involved are very much the same. The emphasis on the common physics underlying this wide variety of celestial phenomena makes this a unique book for researchers and students of astrophysics and astronomy.
