Written for graduate students and researchers, this book presents an up-to-date overview of the phenomenology and impact of magnetic fields.
1. A brief history and background; 2. Methods for probing magnetic fields in astrophysical systems; 3. Mechanisms for magnetic field generation and regeneration; 4. Nearby galactic objects as a microcosm of the effects of astrophysical magnetic fields; 5. Magnetic field configurations in large galaxies; 6. Magnetic field outflow into the IGM from stellar and supernova activity; 7. Extragalactic scale jets and their magnetized lobes; 8. Distribution of magnetic energy into the IGM; 9. Magnetic fields associated with clusters and groups of galaxies; 10. Magnetic fields beyond galaxy clusters; 11. Intergalactic cosmic rays and magnetic fields; 12. Magnetic fields at earlier cosmological epochs since recombination; 13. Magnetic fields at and before the recombination epoch; 14. Magnetic fields and some fundamental physics questions; Index.
