The first announcement to the Conference: Magnetic Fields in the Universe II: from Laboratory and Stars to the Primordial Universe has been published. (http://www.astroscu.unam.mx/congresos/mfu2)
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 (Brazil) 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.
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
Program
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.
