Waves in Dusty, Solar, and Space Plasmas: Leuven, Belgium 22-26 May 2000

Dusty, solar, and space plasmas are fields that have a lot in common with dust particles occuring in space, cometary and interstellar regions. This collection represents the latest results presented by leading scientists in these fields. Contributions include all three areas of interest and they cover a wide range of topics such as applications in space and astrophysical plasmas, the general aspects of collective processes, self-gravitational effects, fugacity in dusty plasmas, Aflvn waves, linear and nonlinear studies, as well as fluid and kinetic theory. In the solar physics area, the emphasis was on MHD waves and solar coronal heating and was enhanced by some of the spectacular observations made possible by recent space missions.
