Dusty and Self-Gravitational Plasmas in Space, Hardcover by Bliokh, Pavel; Sinitsin, Victor; Yaroshenko, Victoria, ISBN 0792330226, ISBN-13 9780792330226, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Synthesizes information from the scientific papers, surveys, and special issues of journals that have dealt with dusty plasmas since they were found in planetary rings and comet environments by interplanetary missions of the late 1970s and 1980s. The five papers focus on cooperative phenomena such as waves and instabilities and the effects of self-gravitation, but also consider such topics as electrostatics of the plasma as a whole, gravito-electro-dynamics of individual charged particles, and the astrophysical implications especially in regard to planetary rings. Of interest to physicists and astrophysicists researching plasma. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
