Multi-scale plasma processes in the solar and stellar phenomena

The formation of all stars, including the Sun, is due to the interplay between partially ionized plasma and magnetic field. Once they are formed, their corona is heated to fully-ionized plasma with million degrees, which hosts various eruptions such as solar/stellar flares and coronal mass ejections. These eruptions significantly facilitate the escape of the planetary atmosphere. Besides, a star might merge with a black hole, producing tidal disruptive events. All these eruptive phenomena are related to plasma research. With this topical collection, we intend to review some of the observational and modeling research associated with the multi-scale processes in the solar and stellar context.
