Description

Magnetic fields are important in the Universe and their effects contain the key to many astrophysical phenomena that are otherwise impossible to understand. This book presents an up-to-date overview of this fast-growing topic and its interconnections to plasma processes, astroparticle physics, high energy astrophysics, and cosmic evolution. The phenomenology and impact of magnetic fields are described in diverse astrophysical contexts within the Universe, from galaxies to galaxy clusters, the filaments and voids of the intergalactic medium, and out to the largest redshifts. The presentation of mathematical formulae is accessible and is designed to add insight into the broad range of topics discussed. Written for graduate students and researchers in physics, astrophysics and related disciplines, this volume will inspire readers to devise new ways of thinking about magnetic fields in space on galaxy scales and beyond.

Author Biography:

Philipp P. Kronberg is Research Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto Canada and Visiting Professor at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has served on or chaired advisory and management boards of many organizations and facilities and has received numerous awards and distinctions including a Humboldt Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Killiam Fellowship. For over thirty years Kronberg has pioneered both measurements and physical and mathematical analyses to deduce astrophysical magnetic fields on many scales, from our Milky Way to the most distant quasars.
