This lecture covers the properties of plasma in astrophysical contexts, including the ionization state, Saha equation, long-range forces affecting trajectories, and the concept of plasma parameter. It also discusses the degree of magnetization and the importance of astrophysical magnetic fields even when the plasma beta is greater than 1.
