Theoretical concepts are addressed wherever necessary, with derivations presented in sufficient detail to be generally accessible. In the first few chapters the authors present an introduction to various astrophysical phenomena related to cosmic magnetism, with scales ranging from molecular clouds in star-forming regions and supernova remnants in the Milky Way, to clusters of galaxies. Later chapters address the role of magnetic fields in the evolution of the interstellar medium, galaxies and galaxy clusters. The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in astronomy and physics and will serve as an entry point for those starting their first research projects in the field. 410 0$aSpringer Praxis Books 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aPlasma (Ionized gases) 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aPlasma Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aPlasma (Ionized gases). 615 0$aCosmology. 615 14$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aPlasma Physics. 615 24$aCosmology. 676 $a523.1 676 $a523.112 700 $aKlein$b Ulrich$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0392471 702 $aFletcher$b Andrew$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299435503321 996 $aGalactic and Intergalactic Magnetic Fields$92532910 997 $aUNINA
