Second Announcement.
"REGISTRATION ONLINE IS NOW AVAILABLE"

We are pleased to invite you to the conference: "MAGNETIC FIELDS IN THE UNIVERSE II: from Laboratory and Stars to the Primordial Universe",
which will be held in Cozumel, Mexico from January 28th to February 1st, 2008. More info at: http://www.astroscu.unam.mx/congresos/mfu2

In view of the success of the meeting "Magnetic Fields in the Universe: from Laboratory and Stars to Primordial Structures", held in Angra dos Reis (Brazil) in December 2004. (http://proceedings.aip.org/proceedings/confproceed/784.jsp) A second edition is being organized, this time on the Mexican Caribbean, in the island of Cozumel, from January 28th to February 1st, 2008.

Scientific Rationale

The scientific aim of the conference is to provide a natural continuation to the first edition, putting forward the most recent advances of theoretical and numerical studies, as well as new evidence gathered from observations.

The main topics of the meeting will be:

• Space plasmas
• Solar and stellar plasmas
• Magnetic Fields in star formation and stellar structure and evolution
• Magnetized Interstellar Medium
• Magnetic fields in compact objects and accretion disks
• Magnetized jets, outflows and winds
• Galactic magnetic field
• Magnetic field effects in galaxies and active galactic nuclei
• Magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies
• Intergalactic magnetic fields
• Magnetic fields in the early universe
• MHD instabilities in astrophysical sources
• Basic plasma processes
• Turbulence, Magnetic Reconnection, Dynamo Processes

Program

The conference will consist in invited talks on themes of general interest, a limited number of selected contributed oral presentations, and poster sessions on more specific topics. Poster contributions will be exhibited for the entire duration of the conference with two special sessions devoted to them, preceded by a invited review to give highlights and promote discussion.
