Description for Cambridge Astrophysics: Series Number 53: Cosmic Magnetic Fields
hardcover. Written for graduate students and researchers, this book presents an up-to-date overview of the phenomenology and impact of magnetic fields. Series: Cambridge Astrophysics. Num Pages: 316 pages, 84 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PHK; PHVB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 247 x 174. .
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 ... Read more
