Magnetohydrodynamics, Astrophysical Plasmas, and the Interstellar Medium

3 cr · Graduate

This course develops a theoretical understanding of the interstellar magnetic fields for a diverse range of astrophysical objects, processes, and phenomena. Furthermore, the theoretical aspects of magnetohydrodynamics, and foundations for the physics of cosmic ray diffusion and acceleration, are also discussed. Students may not hold credit for both ASTR 4400 and ASTR 7400 .
