The research activities related to high energy astrophysics and interplanetary plasma are reported. The experimental work in the following areas are described: (1) balloon-and rocket-borne cosmic X-ray, (2) X-ray spectroscopy, and (3) OSO-3 gamma ray experiment. Plasma studies in the interplanetary region, magnetosphere, and geomagnetic tail are included.
The effect of electromagnetic fluctuations, or plasma turbulence, on the motion of the individual particles in a plasma is investigated. Two alternative methods are used to find a general equation governing the time-evolution of a distribution of charged particles subject to both an external force field and the random fields of the fluctuations. It is found that, for the high-temperature, low-density plasmas frequently encountered in the study of astrophysics, the presence of even a small amount of turbulence can have a very important effect on the behavior of the plasma. Two problems in which turbulence plays an important role are treated.
