Klappentext zu „Plasma Astrophysics “
This volume presents the lecture notes of the 24th Advanced Course of the Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy in March 1994 at Les Diablerets. In three lectures on magnetohydrodynamics, on kinetic plasma physics and on particle acceleration leading experts describe the physical basis of their subjects and extend the discussion to several applications in modern problems of astrophysics. In style and presentation the texts are well-suited for graduate work in plasma astrophysics, one of the very important tools of modern astronomy. The themes developed in this book will be helpful in understanding many processes in the universe from the solar corona to active galaxies.

Pressezitat
"I highly recommend this book. It will be much appreciated in an astrophysics community sated with conference proceedings but frequently starved for authoritative, up-to-date, graduate-level references like this one" Physics Today
