Book Description
The proceedings will be of interest to scientists, researchers, and graduate students in several areas of Relativistic Astrophysics, including Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics, High Energy Astrophysics and Gravitational Wave Physics. Started in 1963 in Dallas, the Texas Symposia on Relativistic Astrophysics have become one of the leading international conference series in the field of Relativity, Cosmology and Gravitation. These Proceedings contain invited review talks given by leading experts on the occasion of the 25th Texas Symposium in Heidelberg, Germany, December 2010. Topics covered include Dark Energy, Tests of General Relativity, Gravitational Waves, Progress in High Energy Astrophysics, Cosmic Magnetic and Radiation Fields. The volume will be of particular interest for students and researchers in all fields connected to Relativistic Astrophysics.

Book Description
Baryonic Processes in the Large-Scale Structuring of the Universe
Author: Jean-Baptiste Durrive
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319618814
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This thesis addresses two very different but equally important topics in the very broad fields of astrophysics and cosmology: (I) the generation of cosmological magnetic fields and (II) gravitational fragmentation of the Cosmic Web. All mathematical developments are completed by illuminating physical interpretations, and the thesis, which is guided by existing observations, is purely theoretical. In part I, the author further develops a magnetogenesis model proposed in the literature, providing an unprecedented level of physical understanding. He demonstrates that the physics of photoionisation is very likely to have premagnetised, at a relevant level, the entire Universe at the early epoch of the formation of the first luminous sources. In part II, the author adapts the tools of plasma spectral theory to the context of gravitational instability of the baryonic gas within the stratified structures of the Cosmic Web. He skillfully derives the wave equation governing the growth of perturbations and explores various equilibrium configurations, in planar and cylindrical geometries characteristic of cosmic walls and filaments, for isothermal and polytropic conditions, with or without an external gravitational background. Clearly structured and written in pedagogical style, this outstanding thesis puts the results into perspective and highlights the merits and limitations of the various approaches explored.

Magnetic Fields in Diffuse Media
Author: Alexander Lazarian
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662446251
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 627
Book Description
This volume presents the current knowledge of magnetic fields in diffuse astrophysical media. Starting with an overview of 21st century instrumentation to observe astrophysical magnetic fields, the chapters cover observational techniques, origin of magnetic fields, magnetic turbulence, basic processes in magnetized fluids, the role of magnetic fields for cosmic rays, in the interstellar medium and for star formation. Written by a group of leading experts the book represents an excellent overview of the field. Nonspecialists will find sufficient background to enter the field and be able to appreciate the state of the art.
