This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articles are grouped in three areas: (i) astrophysical plasma, (ii) solar plasma, and (iii) magnetospheric and interplanetary plasma. The (i) section covers issues associated with the magnetohydrodynamics of accretion disks and problems related to galaxies statistics, as well as the spectrum of a quasar seen through its disk, turbulence and waves amplification related to the viscosity and heating of accretion disks. The (ii) section is devoted to problems associated with waves in solar spicules and solar wind and also to the still unresolved puzzle of the mechanisms of the solar corona heating. The (iii) section treats important for our living with a star phenomenon as the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth’s and other planets magnetospheres and related issues of space weather.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook describes Earth's plasma environment from single particle motion in electromagnetic fields, with applications to Earth's magnetosphere, up to plasma wave generation and wave-particle interaction. The origin and effects of collisions and conductivities are discussed in detail, as is the formation of the ionosphere, the origin of magnetospheric convection and magnetospheric dynamics in solar wind-magnetosphere coupling, the evolution of magnetospheric storms, auroral substorms, and auroral phenomena of various kinds.The second half of the book presents the theoretical foundation of space plasma physics, from kinetic theory of plasma through the formation of moment equations and derivation of magnetohydrodynamic theory of plasmas. The validity of this theory is elucidated, and two-fluid theory is presented in more detail. This is followed by a brief analysis of fluid boundaries, with Earth's magnetopause and bow shock as examples. The main emphasis is on the presentation of fluid and kinetic wave theory, deriving the relevant wave modes in a high temperature space plasma. Plasma instability is the most important topic in all applications and is discussed separately, including a section on thermal fluctuations. These theories are applied to the most interesting problems in space plasma physics, collisionless reconnection and collisionless shock waves with references provided. The Appendix includes the most recent developments in the theory of statistical particle distributions in space plasma, the Kappa distribution, etc, also including a section on space plasma turbulence and emphasizing on new observational developments with a dimensional derivation of the Kolmogorov spectrum, which might be instructive for the student who may worry about its origin.The book ends with a section on space climatology, space meteorology and space weather, a new application field in space plasma physics that is of vital interest when considering the possible hazards to civilization from space.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the lectures presented at the International Workshop on Relation between Laboratory and Space Plasmas held at Gakushi-Kaikan (University Alumni Association) Kanda in Tokyo, Japan on 14 - 15 April, 1980. Its aim was to bring together laboratory, fusion and space plasma physicists and to highlight the communality of basic plasma phenomena, similarities and differences observed in the laboratory and in space, thus exchanging information tnd views on new ideas to link both areas. Although similar type of conferences were held in Europe and recently in the States, this is the first time we have had in Japan for such an international meeting, which may be regarded as an extended version of our national Workshop held twice at the Institute of Plasma Physics of Japan (IPPJ) in 1976 and in 1977 (IPPJ Research Report No. 286 and No. 365). The Workshop consisted of seven regular sessions and one special session with approximately ninety participants from allover the world. Thirty-six papers, invited and contributed, were presented, nine from U. S. A., three from U. S. S. R., two of each from Germany, France, India, one of each from Sweden, Canada, Belgium and fifteen from Japan. The topics covered were: (1) The Critical Velocity (2) Beam Plasma Discharges and Interactions (3) Double Layers and Shocks (4) Instabilities in the Equatorial and Auroral Electrojets (5) Turbulent and Anomalous Plasmas (6) Plasma Irregularities (7) Solar Plasma Phenomena (8) Active Experiments in Space Plasmas and Their Simulation in the Laboratory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conference topics include gas-dynamical and numerical modeling/simulations of accreation disks in close binaries, heating and friction mechanisms of accreation disks, impact of large-scale magnetic fields on stellar structure and evolution, radial brightness profiles of spiral galaxies, Active Galactic Nuclei and more specifically the plasma conditions around supermassive black holes, as well as non-equilibrium oscillating neutrinos in the early Universe plasma. Several principal themes motivate the efforts of Conference participants: observations and analysis of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models and numerical simulations of CMEs, MHD waves and spectral line non-thermal broadening in the solar corona, transverse oscillations of coronal magnetic loops, parametrically unstable Alfvén-cyclotron waves and wave-particle interactions in the solar corona and solar wind, new insights on geomagnetic storms from oberservations and modeling, the relationship between solar wind characteristics and geomagnetic activity Rossby waves in rotating magnetized fluids, and the framework and current developments of the Earth-Moon-Mars radiation environment module. The reported results on accreation disks, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms are rather new ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook deals with the requirements of space physics. The first part starts with a description of the Earth's plasma environment, followed by a derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with applications to the Earth's magnetosphere. Then the origin and effects of collisions and conductivities, formation of the ionosphere, magnetospheric convection and dynamics, and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling are discussed.The second part of the book presents a more theoretical foundation of plasma physics, starting from kinetic theory. Introducing moments of the distribution function permits derivation of the fluid equations, followed by an analysis of fluid boundaries, with the Earth's magnetopause and bow shock as examples. Finally, fluid and kinetic theory are applied to derive the relevant wave modes in a plasma.A representative selection of the many space plasma instabilities and relevant aspects of nonlinear theory is given in a companion textbook, Advanced Space Plasma Physics, by the same authors.
