Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

Plasma Astrophysics and Cosmology is an update on the new observations made in radio, optical, and high-energy astrophysics, especially over the last decade, and addresses the paradigm changing discoveries made by the planetary probes and satellites, radio telescopes, and the Hubble space telescope. Over twenty distinguished lectures in plasma science present an entirely new picture of the nature of our plasma universal with articles ranging from the popular level to advanced topics cosmology.
