Space Plasma Physics

Bok av Ivan Zhelyazkov
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 Alfven-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.
