Evolution of the plasma universe. II. The formation of systems of galaxies.

The reconfiguration and compression of tenuous cosmic plasma due to the self-consistent magnetic fields from currents conducted through the filaments, leading to the formation of elliptical, peculiar, barred and normal galaxies, are considered. This further evolution of the plasma universe spans an epoch of 1-5 x 10 to the 9th years. The electromagnetic pinch is shown to produce condensed states and to initiate the gravitational collapse of dusty galactic plasma to stellisimals and then stars. Simulation data are compared to data on galaxy morphology types, synchrotron flux, HI distributions, and fine detail structure in rotational velocity curves.
