  Princeton - Graduate School Announcement - Department of Astrophysical Sciences
Plasma physics provides the scientific basis for the attainment of an effectively unlimited energy source through controlled thermonuclear fusion as well as a framework for interpreting many fascinating laboratory and astrophysical phenomena.
Topics include a survey of physical processes important for stellar interiors (equation of state, transport phenomena, nuclear reactions); macroscopic properties of stars and their stability; evolution of single and binary stars; mass loss and accretion of matter; and accretion disks.
Discussion of the important physical processes in the interstellar medium, including heating and cooling, atomic and molecular excitation, chemical reactions, ionization and recombination, radiative transfer, fluid dynamics, and physics of interstellar dust.

  Magnetosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A magnetosphere is the region around an astronomical object, in which phenomena are dominated by its magnetic field.
Laboratory simulation of the magnetosphere's influence on the Solar Wind; these auroral-like Birkeland currents were created in a terrella, a magnetised anode globe in an evacuated chamber.
The Earth's magnetosphere was discovered in 1958 by Explorer I during the research performed for the International Geophysical Year.

 James Van Allen - Telegraph
But his lasting achievement was neither Explorer's ability to escape the Earth's pull, nor the propaganda coup which the rocket gave the United States, but the scientific insights which followed the analysis of data gathered from the tiny Geiger counters which Van Allen had devised for the rocket.
An entire academic discipline, that of magnetospherical physics, owes its existence to Van Allen's discoveries.
He was educated locally and was valedictorian of his high school before attending Iowa Wesleyan College, where he studied Physics and Chemistry under Thomas Poulter, for whom he prepared instruments for an expedition to the Antarctic.

 Human Space Exploration
Science in LEO will serve our strategy, as it will allow for the testing of new materials, to evaluate issues such as the effect of radiation, and impacting meteoroids.
Investigation of fundamental physics in areas such as astronomy and magnetospherical experiments is also foreseen.
Biological experiments including, for example, effects to animals and plants based on exposure to radiation, can be used for preparing future human settlements on planets exposed to high radiation doses.
