About the Authors

Magnetic fields pervade the universe and play an important role in many astrophysical processes. However, they require specialised observational tools, and are challenging to model and understand. This volume provides a unified view of magnetic fields across astrophysical and cosmological contexts, drawing together disparate topics that are rarely covered together. Written by the lecturers of the XXV Canary Islands Winter School, it offers a self-contained introduction to cosmic magnetic fields on a range of scales. The connections between the behaviours of magnetic fields in these varying contexts are particularly emphasised, from the relatively small and close ranges of the Sun, planets and stars, to galaxies and clusters of galaxies, as well as on cosmological scales. Aimed at young researchers and graduate students, this up-to-date review uniquely brings together a subject often tackled by disconnected communities, conveying the latest advances as well as highlighting the limits of our current understanding.
- Provides a unified view of the latest advances and the limits of our current understanding of cosmic magnetic fields
- Explores magnetic fields in a range of contexts, from the Sun, planets and stars, to galaxies and clusters of galaxies, as well as on cosmological scales
- The volume is complemented by online tutorials and slide shows of the lectures from the XXV Canary Islands Winter School
