4.2 Transition Radiation
"Even in the absence of a magnetic field, astrophysical plasmas are capable of producing polarized radiation and large scale radiation patterns having diffraction-like patterns. At cellular interfaces delineating astrophysical plasmas of differeing constituency, the passge of electrical currents can produce transition radiation, … produced by the propagation of charged particles through the interface between media with differing dielectric constants."
"Long a topic of theoretical interest, transition radiation has been experimentally verified in the far infrared…
Thus coherent transition radiation may give information about large scale cellular astrophysical transition regions…"
Hmm ..
