Description
Research on astronomical jets has largely been conducted within the domain of astronomical observations and astrophysical modeling and numerical simulations. However, the recent advent of high-energy density facilities has added experimental control to jet studies. Testing models for jet launching and collimation requires a highly interdisciplinary approach and sophistication. Indeed, closing the circle between pure magnetohydrodynamics, thermo-chemical evolution, high angular resolution spectro-imaging and laboratory experiments is not trivial. This volume seeks to bridge these gaps by providing a series of lectures linking the foundations of the discipline. Lectures presented in this book address - studies of jets physics in the laboratory - the magnetohydrodynamic theory of stationary jets - what we learn from coronal heating in the sun and from shock heating in molecular material and chemistry applied to heating mechanisms in magnetohydrodynamic jets - the atomic perspective on the microphysics of the shocked material in the jets. The book closes by presenting a series of diagnostics making it possible to derive basic physical quantities from jet emission lines.
