Partially Ionized Plasmas Throughout the Cosmos - Proceedings of the 2010 Huntsville Workshop

These proceedings will be of interest to scientists in the fields of space physics, theoretical and observational astrophysics, plasma physics, and turbulence theory.
Most of the ordinary matter in the Universe exists in a partially ionized plasma state. Examples found in this book include solar flares, the heliosphere, interstellar clouds, supernova shock waves and relativistic jets. The papers discuss various plasma processes in astrophysics such as relativistic flows, instabilities, turbulence, generation of magnetic fields, charged particle acceleration, and cosmic radiation.
