What is the fourth state of matter, characterized by high temperatures and ionization?
Which astrophysical object is primarily composed of plasma?
What is the name of the region surrounding the Sun where charged particles from the Sun's corona extend?
Which phenomenon is responsible for the emission of radio waves from astrophysical plasmas?
What is the name of the process by which high-energy electrons lose energy through collisions with atoms and molecules?
Which astrophysical phenomenon involves the acceleration of charged particles to extremely high energies?
What is the name of the region in a galaxy where the density and temperature of the plasma are high, leading to intense X-ray emission?
Which astrophysical phenomenon involves the sudden release of a large amount of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation?
What is the name of the process by which charged particles are accelerated by shock waves in astrophysical plasmas?
Which type of astrophysical plasma is characterized by high temperatures and densities, often found in the cores of stars?
What is the name of the region in a galaxy where new stars are formed from dense clouds of gas and dust?
Which astrophysical phenomenon involves the ejection of a large amount of mass from the outer layers of a star?
What is the name of the process by which charged particles interact with magnetic fields, resulting in the formation of spiral trajectories?
Which astrophysical object is powered by the accretion of matter onto a compact object, such as a black hole or neutron star?
