Contents:
Magnetic fields in the early universe / Martin J. Rees -- Magnetic fields in galaxy systems, clusters and beyond / Philipp P. Kronberg -- Magnetic fields in galaxies / Rainer Beck -- The origin of galactic magnetic fields / Russell M. Kulsrud -- Magnetic fields in the Milky Way, derived from radio continuum observations and Faraday rotation studies / Richard Wielebinski -- Mesoscale magnetic structures in spiral galaxies / Anvar Shukurov -- Magnetic fields in Diffuse H 1 and molecular clouds / Carl Heiles, Richard Crutcher -- Stellar magnetic fields / Leon Mestel, John D. Landstreet -- Importance of magnetic helicity in dynamos / Azel Brandenburg -- Numerical Magnetohydrodynamics in astrophysics / Max Camenzind.
In: OhioLINK electronic book center In: SpringerLinkSummary: While magnetic fields permeate the universe on all scales, the present book is dedicated to their investigation on the largest scales and affords a balanced account of both theoretical and observational aspects. Written as a set of advanced lectures and tutorial reviews, which lead up to the forefront of research, this book offers both a modern source of reference for the experienced researchers as well as a high-level introductory text for postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers working in related areas.
