磁场弥漫在我们浩瀚的宇宙中，推动带电粒子沿轨道运动，为太阳和恒星耀斑提供动力，并聚焦脉冲星和中子星的强烈活动。磁场遍布宇宙的每一个角落。几十年来，天体物理学家一直通过它们对可见光、无线电波和X射线的影响来识别它们。J.B.Zirker总结了我们对磁学的深刻认识，指出了关于其天体物理应用的未知之处。在清晰的、非数学的散文中，Zirker沿着磁探索的轨迹从地球的极光带到太空的最远端。他引导读者踏上一段迷人的发现之旅，了解磁力是如何产生的，以及它们是如何塑造宇宙的。他通过向读者介绍研究过磁场的伟大科学家，提供了欣赏令人兴奋的新研究所需的历史背景。学生和业余天文学家都会欣赏到关于磁性宇宙的可读性散文和全面的报道。
Magnetic fields permeate our vast universe, urging electrically charged particles on their courses, powering solar and stellar flares, and focusing the intense activity of pulsars and neutron stars. Magnetic fields are found in every corner of the cosmos. For decades, astrophysicists have identified them by their effects on visible light, radio waves, and x-rays. J. B. Zirker summarizes our deep knowledge of magnetism, pointing to what is yet unknown about its astrophysical applications. In clear, nonmathematical prose, Zirker follows the trail of magnetic exploration from the auroral belts of Earth to the farthest reaches of space. He guides readers on a fascinating journey of discovery to understand how magnetic forces are created and how they shape the universe. He provides the historical background needed to appreciate exciting new research by introducing readers to the great scientists who have studied magnetic fields. Students and amateur astronomers alike will appreciate the readable prose and comprehensive coverage of The Magnetic Universe.
