This research concerns the generation and evolution of                     magnetic fields in astrophysical environments.  The effects of                  partial ionization on dynamo models of the galactic magnetic                    field and of pregalactic magnetic field amplification will be                   investigated.  This work will build upon a preliminary                          exploration of these effects by Dr. Zweibel.  The formation of                  electric current sheets or filaments in the magnetic fields of                  stellar coronae with consequences for heating of the coronal gas                will also be studied.  This area too has been of longstanding                   interest to several principal collaborators at the University of                Chicago:  A. Konigl, E. Parker, and R. Rosner.                                       In addition to research activities, Dr. Zweibel will teach                 graduate courses in her specialty (Fluid and Plasma Dynamics I or               II, Special Topics in Plasma Astrophysics), participate in                      Theoretical Astrophysics and Faculty Research Seminars and in the               regular Astronomy and Astrophysics Colloquium Series, and deliver               guest lectures to undergraduate classes in Physical Science.                         This project furthers VPW program objectives which are (1)                 to provide opportunities for women to advance their careers in                  engineering and in the disciplines of science supported by NSF                  and (2) to encourage women to pursue careers in science and                     engineering by providing greater visibility for women scientists                and engineers employed in industry, government, and academic                    institutions.  By encouraging the participation of women in                     science, it is a valuable investment in the Nation's future                     scientific vitality.
