Abstract

Let me show you some images of plasma phenomena in our universe (Fig. 3.1). At the center of the top panel is an aurora of the Earth, and on the left is the Sun taken by the X-ray satellite. The Sun is known to be very active in the X-ray band, and energetic electrons and ions are generated around the surface of the Sun, i.e., the solar corona.
