Overview & Scientific Rationale

Overview

In view of the success of the meeting "Magnetic Fields in the Universe: from Laboratory and Stars to Primordial Structures", held in Angra dos Reis (Brasil) in December 2004. A second edition is being organized, this time on the Mexican caribbean, in the island of Cozumel, from january 28th to february 1st. 2008.

The preceedings of the first edition of "Magnetic Fields in the Universe: from Laboratory and Stars to Primordial Structures" have been edited by Gouveia Dal Pino,  G.Lugones, A. Lazarian, American Institute of Physics, in the American  Institute of Physics  Conference Proceedings volume 784 ,482 pages (845 pages on CDROM), ISBN 0-7354-0273-6,  2005):

Scientific rationale

The scientific aim of the conferecne is to provide a natural continuation to the first edition, putting forward the most recent advances of theoretical and numerical studies,  as well as new evidence gathered from observations.

The main topics of the meeting will be:
  • Space plasmas
  • Solar and stellar plasmas
  • Magnetic Fields in star formation and stellar structure and evolution
  • Magnetized Interstellar Medium
  • Magnetic fields in compact objects and accretion disks
  • Magnetized jets, outflows and winds
  • Galactic magnetic field
  • Magnetic field effects in galaxies and active galactic nuclei
  • Magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies
  • Intergalactic magnetic fields
  • Magnetic fields in the early universe
  • MHD instabilities in astrophysical sources
  • Basic plasma processes
  • Turbulence, Magnetic Reconnection, Dynamo Processes
The conference will consist in ivited talks on themes of general interest, a limited number of selcted contributed oral presentations,  and poster sessions on more specific topics. Poster contributions will be exhibited for the entire duration of the conference with  two special sessions devoted to them, preceeded by a invited review to give highlighs and promote discussion.
