Catalog description

Basic theory of production of radiation in stars, galaxies and diffuse interstellar and intergalactic media and transport non thermal of radiation throughout the universe. After a brief review of stellar structure and evolution, the focus will be shifted to non-thermal processes; acceleration, transport and radiative signatures motivated by direct observations of cosmic rays and non-thermal leptonic and hadronic emission mechanism. Magnetic fields, turbulence and shocks present around magnetospheres of planets, solar and stellar coronae, accretion on compact objects and diffuse interstellar and intracluster mediums of clusters of galaxies will an important part.
