The astrophysical jet. 330 $aAstrophysical jets are spectacular displays of gas or dust ejected from a range of cosmic bodies; they are seemingly ubiquitous on scales from comets to black holes. This volume reviews our understanding of jet processes and provides a modern guide to their observation and the role they play in many long-standing problems in astrophysics. It covers the major discoveries in gamma-ray bursts, solar and stellar jets and cometary jets. Specific physical processes for all classes of jet are illustrated and discussed in depth, as a backdrop to explaining spectacular jet images. Current jet models raise as many issues as they solve, so the final chapter looks at the new questions to be answered. Written at an entry level for postgraduate students, this volume incorporates introductions to all the governing physics, providing a comprehensive and insightful guide to the study of jets for researchers across all branches of astrophysics. 410 0$aCambridge astrophysics series ;$v49. 606 $aAstrophysical jets 606 $aAstrophysics 615 0$aAstrophysical jets. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 676 $a523 686 $aSCI005000$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Michael D$g(Michael David),$f1955-$01673453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825519303321 996 $aAstrophysical jets and beams$94123904 997 $aUNINA
