  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 236))

Abstract

In the universe, plasma state is the overwhelmingly dominant state of matter. As plasma consists in ionized matter, it carries electric currents which are the source of magnetic fields; those penetrate all astrophysical plasmas and influence on their physical properties, inducing particles dynamics, waves and instabilities. In this review, we are mainly interested on low-density plasmas (where the particles mean free path is much greater that the characteristic dimensions inherent to the considered phenomena) which are typical, among others, of the planetary magnetospheres, the solar corona, or the interplanetary and intergalactic space; we will not be concerned with phenomena related to thermonuclear fusion type-plasmas, as found for example in Tokamaks or stellar bodies.
