ABSTRACT
Magnetic fields and electric currents play an important part in the workings of the cosmos. It has been thoroughly settled that many significant features in the make-up of the universe, like the physics of stars and galaxies or of the magnetospheres of stellar objects, are related or even governed by coupled electromagneticplasma fluid phenomena. Related questions are of vital interest in many different areas of research, for example in galactic and solar physics, as well as the physics of the magnetosphere, i.e. the physics of the magnetoplasma surrounding our planet.
