Magnetic Fields in the Universe III - From Laboratory and Stars to Primordial Structures
Abstract
The scientific aim of the conference is to provide a natural continuation to the former editions, putting forward the most recent advances of theoretical and numerical studies, as well as new information gathered from observations. Specific issues addressed include the role of magnetic fields in solar and stellar coronae, accretion disks, jets and outflows, stellar and galactic winds, massive stars and in black holes. We discussed its role in late stages of stellar evolution, supernova remnants, interstellar clouds and in star formation. Particular subjects involve the structure of spiral and irregular galaxies, galactic nuclei, clusters of galaxies, as well as high redshift and primordial magnetic fields. Basic plasma and MHD astrophysical processes were addressed. In particular, we mean phenomena such as: the MHD turbulence, dynamos, the magnetic reconnection, magnetic instabilities and a magnetized dusty gas,. We discussed these subjects using results of laboratory experiments and MHD of numerical modeling. The expected data on magnetic fields which will be gathered using new and forthcoming instruments (e.g. LOFAR, PLANCK, SOFIA, ALMA SKA, CTA, etc) were discussed as well.
