Basics of Plasma Physics
Basic properties of plasmas are introduced, which are valid for an extremely wide range of plasma parameters. Plasmas are classified by different...
-
Strongly Coupled Plasmas
We give a brief introduction into the basic many-particle effectes in strongly coupled plasmas and their theoretical treatment. Exemplary results are...
-
Magnetic Confinement
This chapter describes the basic principles of magnetic confinement. The main representatives of magnetic confinement are the mirror machine, the...
-
Observation of Plasma Fluctuations
The diagnostics of fluctuating plasma quantities and their evaluation is an important issue in the context of plasma waves, instabilities, and...
-
Low Temperature Plasmas
Characteristic properties and generation mechanisms of low temperature plasmas in different gas discharges are presented. A special part is focussed...

Course 12: Evolution of YSO Disks
As stars and planets form from accretion processes in disks, it is important to understand these processes and their evolutionary implications. While...

Course 13: X-Rays from YSOS: Desperately Seeking the Central Engine
The earliest stages of the evolution of low-mass stars are characterized by the presence of powerful jets, likely originating from accretion via...
-
Course 7: Cosmic Rays and Particle Acceleration at Astrophysical Shocks
The acceleration of particles in the vicinity of astrophysical shocks has become the main paradigm in astrophysics for the production of cosmic rays...
-
Course 6: Gamma-Ray Bursts
This lecture is an introduction to the study of gamma-ray bursts. Observations of the burst and its afterglow are first reviewed, with the...
-
Course 9: Accretion around Active Galactic Nuclei
In bright AGN, at distances of several Schwarzschild radii, the accretion onto a black hole proceeds predominantly in a form of a cool accretion...
-
Survey of Current Theoretical Schemes
With a view to the growing interest in heavy-ion stop**, theoretical schemes have been developed over the past few years aiming at calculating...

Statistics of Particle Penetration
The importance of statistical considerations in the physics of particle penetration has been emphasized in particular by Bohr (1948). An extensive...

Course 15: Observations of the High Energy $\gamma$ -Ray Universe
This article describes the nature and current status of observational programs studying astrophysical high energy...
-
Course 1: Accretion and Ejection-Related MHD
This lecture is an introduction to MHD. Relevant equations, both in the classical and special-relativistic regimes are derived. The magnetic field...

Course 11: Accretion Signatures in Young Stellar Objects
Mass accretion onto the star is taken place in young stellar objects, providing the energy needed to power the excess emission observed at all...
-
Course 8: The Black Hole Environments
Compact objects are astrophysical entities with radii smaller than about 10 Schwarzschild radii. The mass spectrum of these objects ranges from the...

Collective Effects in Dusty Plasmas
Dusty plasmas, i.e. plasmas containing particles of nanometer to micrometer size, allow the observation of kinetic and collective effects on a...
-
Physics of “Hot” Plasmas
The physics of hot plasmas, i.e. nearly collisionless plasmas with finite pressure as they occur in astrophysical or fusion applications, is...
