Astrophysical Plasmas

Astrophysical plasmas, comprising ionized gases in space, are critical to understanding cosmic phenomena. These plasmas, found in stars, interstellar medium, and galaxies, exhibit unique behaviors due to their high energy and magnetic fields. They drive processes like solar flares and stellar formation. Studying these plasmas reveals insights into the universe's evolution, cosmic ray propagation, and the dynamics of celestial objects.
