Physica Scripta, 1982 Two examples of plasma phenomena of importance to astrophysics are reviewed. These are examples where astrophysical understanding hinges on further progress in plasma physics understanding. The two examples are magnetic reconnection and the collisionless interaction between a population of energetic particles and a cooler gas or plasma, in particular ...

Plasma physics of extreme astrophysical environments [PDF]
Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 Certain classes of astrophysical objects, namely magnetars and central engines of supernovae and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), are characterized by extreme physical conditions not encountered elsewhere in the Universe. In particular, they possess magnetic fields that exceed the critical quantum field of 44 teragauss.

Fluorescence in Astrophysical Plasmas [PDF]
, 2013 Following the initial detection by Bowen in 1934 of the strong O III linesbeing due to accidental resonance with strong He II radiation, many strong spectralemission lines are explained as produced by fluorescence. Many of these areFe II lines pumped by H Lyα, as a consequence of strong radiation from hydrogenand a favorable energy level structure for ...

Microphysics in Astrophysical Plasmas [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2013 Although macroscale features dominate astrophysical images and energetics, the physics is controlled through microscale transport processes (conduction, diffusion) that mediate the flow of mass, momentum, energy, and charge. These microphysical processes manifest themselves in key (all) boundary layers and also operate within the body of the plasma ...

X–ray spectroscopy of astrophysical plasmas
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002 We provide a qualitative review of key X-ray spectral diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. We begin with a brief discussion of the two major types of equilibria, collisional ionization and photoionization, and then consider the behaviour of hydrogen-like, helium-like, iron L-shell and iron K-shell transitions for these separate cases.

Introduction to plasma astrophysics characteristics of astrophysical plasma high density plasma.
Kakuyūgō kenkyū, 1989 Property of High Density Matter with density from 1g/cm3 to 1016g/cm3 is argued. Using the equation of state for high density matter, the equilibrium structure of high density star is discussed. There are two phases of high density stars. They are white dwarf and neutron star. Each has a maximum possible mass.

Relativistic Astrophysical Plasmas
Kakuyūgō kenkyū, 1989 Selected theoretical topics in high energy astrophysics are discussed. Firstly an account is given of accretion disks around a massive black hole and radiation processes in hot thermal plasmas. Then recent studies on the effects of electron-positron pairs in relativistic thermal plasmas are summarized.
