IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Space and Cosmic Plasma and Workshop on Plasma Astrophysics and Cosmology; May 10-13, 1993; Princeton, New Jersey

这项提议是为了支持IEEE等离子体科学汇刊的一期特刊和一个有关等离子体天体物理的国际研讨会。空间和宇宙等离子体特刊将介绍磁层/电离层相互作用、行星和恒星的磁层以及与其他天体有关的等离子体效应的物理领域的空间等离子体物理研究的最新情况。特别强调了空间等离子体的实验室和计算机模拟，以及这些结果在诸如动力学过程、能量传输、诊断、磁层顶中的等离子体扩散、非线性相互作用、粒子加速、双层、临界电离速度效应、电流和近地等离子体环境中的不稳定性等突出问题上的应用。IEEE第二次等离子体天体物理讲习班的目标是为特刊提供上述领域中空间等离子体物理研究的最新情况。太阳系为等离子体物理提供的坚实基础可以外推到具有大规模天体物理和宇宙学兴趣的等离子体。

This proposal is to support a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science and a related international workshop on plasma astrophysics. The Special Issue on Space and Cosmic Plasma will provide an update on research in space plasma physics in the areas of magnetospheric/ionospheric interactions, the magnetospheres of the planets and stars, and the physics of plasma effects related to other astrophysical objects. Special emphasis is placed on laboratory and computer simulation of space plasmas and the application of these results to outstanding problems such as dynamical processes, energy transport, diagnostics, plasma diffusion in the magnetopause, nonlinear interactions, particle acceleration, double layers, critical ionization velocity effect, electric currents, and instabilities in the near-Earth plasma environment. The goal of the Second IEEE Workshop on Plasma Astrophysics is to provide an update on research in space plasma physics in the areas listed above for the Special Issue. The solid foundation that the solar system provides to plasma physics can be extrapolated to plasmas having large-scale astrophysical and cosmological interest.
