Plasma Processes in Space: A Comprehensive Textbook
This academic textbook, authored by Ilya Lvovich Ovchinnikov and Elizaveta Evgenievna Antonovich, is based on a lecture series delivered to students of the Department of Space Physics at Moscow State University’s Faculty of Physics. The course systematically covers fundamental plasma physics topics, with a focus on theoretical approaches to plasma processes occurring in space. It includes in-depth discussions of ionization and recombination mechanisms, single-particle approximations, kinetic plasma descriptions, and magnetohydrodynamics. The text also explores waves, instabilities, nonlinear phenomena, and turbulence in plasma environments. Additionally, it addresses the acceleration mechanisms of charged particles in space. This resource is designed for university-level study and provides a structured foundation in space plasma physics.
