DPG Bremen

The DPG Spring Meeting has been held this year in Bremen, Germany, March 13-16, where scientists from the fields of plasma physics, matter and cosmos, short-range physics, environmental physics can exchange ideas. The Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions is represented at the DPG by talks and posters from students as well as PIs.

Presentations were given by:

• Astrophysikalische MHD-Schockstrukturen am Beispiel von λ Cephei 
      Lennart Robin Baalmann
• An improved analytical model of the local interstellar magnetic field: The extension to compressibility
      Jens Kleimann, Christian Röken, and Horst Fichtner
