Plasma Astrophysics, Part II: Reconnection and Flares by Boris V. Somov (English

Description: Plasma Astrophysics, Part II by Boris V. Somov Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Magnetic ?elds are easily generated in astrophysical plasma owing to its ?6 high conductivity. The energy of magnetic ?elds is accumulated in astrophysical plasma, and the sudden release of this energy – an original electrodynamical burst orexplosion–takesplaceunderde?nitebutquitegeneralconditions(P- att, 1992; Publisher Description Magnetic ?elds are easily generated in astrophysical plasma owing to its ?6 high conductivity. Magnetic ?elds, having strengths of order few 10 G, correlated on several kiloparsec scales are seen in spiral galaxies. Their origin could be due to ampli?cation of a small seed ?eld by a turbulent galactic dynamo. In several galaxies, like the famous M51, magnetic ?elds are well correlated (or anti-correlated) with the optical spiral arms. These are the weakest large-scale ?elds observed in cosmic space. The strongest magnets in space are presumably the so-called magnetars, the highly mag- 15 netized (with the strength of the ?eld of about 10 G) young neutron stars formed in the supernova explosions.

Such a ?are in ast- physical plasma is accompanied by fast directed ejections (jets) of plasma, powerful ?ows of heat and hard electromagnetic radiation as well as by impulsive acceleration of charged particles to high energies. Author Biography Boris Somov is a professor at the Moscow State University, laureate of the State Prize of the former USSR (the Honour Prize of the USSR Government), and laureate of the IBC Award 2000 Outstanding People of the 20th Century in honour of his contribution to space physics. Three well-known monographs "Physical Processes in Solar Flares," "Fundamental of Cosmic Electrodynamics," and "Cosmic Plasma Physics" by Boris Somov were published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1992, 1994 and 2000. He has contributed more than 170 articles to the scientific literature in solar physics and plasma astrophy Details ISBN 1441922458 ISBN-13 9781441922458 Title Plasma Astrophysics, Part II Author Boris V.
