1. To know: base equations and assumptions for analysis of space plasma bounds; instability appearance conditions; diffuse process features; dispersion equations for waves spread description; the use of plasma kinetic theory; radiation mechanisms in plasma. 2. To be able to: logically and sequentially formulate the base physical principles and lows which have place in space plasma; classify instability types; determine diffusion process types; determine types of waves which can spread in space; to work without assistance with educational and scientific literature and use Internet resources. 3. To take part in a discussion about material which is considered. 4. To solve practical tasks on theme of the course.

Full-time form

Student must know: The base of hydrodynamics and electrodynamics, common astronomy, molecular physics, mathematic analysis. Student must be able to: Solve tasks from courses of hydrodynamics and electrodynamics, common astronomy, molecular physics, mathematic analysis. To work with literature sources.

Analysis of a series of commonly connected processes which form a state of space plasma. The plasma processes having place in stellar atmospheres, interstellar and interplanetary environment are underlined. In the frame of the given course the following questions will be considered: plasma behavior in electromagnetic fields, bounds and instabilities in space plasma, adiabatic and diffusive processes, waves spread and radiation features.

Lectures

Knowledge estimation systems includes the current, module and semester control of knowledge. The forms of current control (maximum 40 marks): questioning during lecture process, estimating homeworks, written and self-dependent tasks, referats. Module control (maximum 20 marks): two module control works. Final semester control is carrying out in the form of test (40 marks).
