Thisbook offers eleven coordinated reviews on multi-scalestructure formation in cosmic plasmas in the Universe. Observations and theories of plasma structures are presentedin all relevant astrophysical contexts, from the Earth’s magnetosphere through heliospheric and galactic scales to clusters of galaxies and the large scalestructure of the Universe. Basic processes in cosmic plasmas starting fromelectric currents and the helicity concept governing the dynamics of magnetic structures in planet magnetospheres,stellar winds, and relativistic plasma outflows like pulsar wind nebulae andActive Galactic Nuclei jets are covered.
Themulti-wavelength view from the radio to gamma-rays with modern high resolutiontelescopes discussed in the book reveals a beautiful and highly informativepicture of both coherent and chaotic plasma structures tightly connected bystrong mutual influence. The authors are all leading scientists in theirfields, making this book an authoritative, up-to-date and enduring contributionto astrophysics.

Jonathan Eastwood is a lecturer inthe Department of Physics at Imperial College London where he is a member ofthe Space and Atmospheric Physics research group. He has previously worked atUC Berkeley and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. In 2012 he was the recipientof the COSPAR Zeldovich medal (Commission D) in recognition of his researchinto the physics of magnetic reconnection and collisionless shocks usingsatellite data.
Jelle Kaastra (PhD 1985, UtrechtUniversity) is a senior scientist at SRON, the Netherlands Institute for SpaceResearch and professor of high-energy astrophysics at Leiden University.He is an expert on high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of cosmic plasmas, and iscurrently principal investigator of the Reflection Grating Spectrometer onXMM-Newton and the Low-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on Chandra. Hehas an active track record on clusters of galaxies, active galactic nuclei andX-ray models for cosmic plasmas.
