Physics of the Plasma Universe, 2nd Edition is an update of observations made across the entire cosmic electromagnetic spectrum over the two decades since the publication of the first edition. It addresses paradigm changing discoveries made by telescopes, planetary probes, satellites, and radio and space telescopes. The contents are the result of the author's 37 years research at Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories, and the U.S. Department of Energy. This book covers topics such as the large-scale structure and the filamentary universe; the formation of magnetic fields and galaxies, active galactic nuclei and quasars, the origin and abundance of light elements, star formation and the evolution of solar systems, and cosmic rays. Chapters 8 and 9 are based on the research of Professor Gerrit Verschuur, and reinvestigation of the manifestation of interstellar neutral hydrogen filaments from radio astronomical observations are given. Using data from the Green Bank 100-m telescope (GBT) of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), detailed information is presented for a non-cosmological origin for the cosmic microwave background quadruple moment. This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers active in the areas of cosmic plasmas and space science. The supercomputer and experimental work was carried out within university, National laboratory, Department of Energy, and supporting NASA facilities. . 606 $aPlasma (Ionized gases) 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aCosmology 606 $aPlasma Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 615 0$aPlasma (Ionized gases) 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 14$aPlasma Physics. 615 24$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aCosmology. 676 $a520 676 $a523.1 676 $a530 676 $a530.44 700 $aPeratt$b Anthony L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$061307 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300412903321 996 $aPhysics of the Plasma Universe$91773116 997 $aUNINA
