Some Interesting Challenges of New Physics in Space

I discuss briefly nine interesting

challenges that I studied over the 

years,  that could be studied in 

greater detail now (in alphabetical

order).

(1) ACCELERATION OF COSMIC RAYS: 

Not by the generally assumed supernova shocks but by smooth 
adiabatic compressions.

(2) ALFVEN WAVE HEATING PLASMAS AND DRIVING STELLAR 

WINDS: Heating the solar corona, driving the solar wind,  

heating protostellar disks and creating protostellar winds.

(3) COLLIMATION OF RELATIVISTIC EXTRAGALACTIC JETS: 

By MHD waves created by the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability.

(4) CREATION OF THE OBSERVED LARGE SCALE ~ 30 Mpc 

VOIDS: By primordial supernovae.

(5) DETECTION OF THE COSMIC NEUTRINO BACKGROUND: 

By coherent scattering.

(6) ORIGIN OF MAGNETIC FIELDS IN THE UNIVERSE: 

By non-minimal electromagnetic-gravitational coupling, 

primordial supernovae, extragalactic jets and/or primordial 

plasma fluctuations.

(7) PRIMORDIAL INFLATION: Without Inflatons.

(8) SMALL DARK MATTER HALOS:Abundance and dark 

matter distribution

(9) THERMAL INSTABILITIES CREATING STRUCTURES: 

In extended radio structures, quasar clouds, filaments in the 

Crab Nebula, in young stellar outflows and superluminal knots.
