Extreme Plasma Astrophysics
arXiv:1903.05328
Abstract
This is a science white paper submitted to the Astro-2020 and Plasma-2020 Decadal Surveys. The paper describes the present status and emerging opportunities in Extreme Plasma Astrophysics -- a study of astrophysically-relevant plasma processes taking place under extreme conditions that necessitate taking into account relativistic, radiation, and QED effects.
A science white paper submitted to the Astro-2020 and Plasma-2020 Decadal Surveys. 7 pages including cover page and references. Paper updated in late March 2019 to include a several additional co-authors and references, and a few small changes
