This textbook considers primarily those astrophysical and space plasma phenomena, in which electromagnetic interactions play a primary or at least essential role. This textbook has been written based on graduate and undergraduate courses and seminars on cosmic electrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, plasma astrophysics, and radiative processes in astrophysics that the authors have taught to many generations of students at State Polytechnic University (St. Petersburg, Russia) and New Jersey Institute of Technology (Newark, New Jersey, USA), cumulatively, over more than half a century, in conjunction with the authors’ astrophysical studies in the field of theoretical astrophysics, including plasma astrophysics, cosmic rays, solar wind, solar flares, supernova remnants, performed mainly at the above universities, Ioffe Institute (St. Petersburg, Russia), and National Radio Astronomy Observatory (Charlottesville, Virginia, USA).
