Plasma Loops in the Solar Corona
Cambridge University Press 1991; US$ 94.00The first comprehensive account of the properties of plasma loops, the fundamental structural elements of the solar corona. more...
Blowing Bubbles in the Cosmos
Oxford University Press 2004; US$ 44.99Many astrophysical bodies produce winds, jets or explosions, which blow bubbles. From a nonmathematical perspective, based on the understanding of bubbles, this book addresses various topics in astrophysics including supernovae, the production of structure in the Early Universe, the environments of supermassive black holes and gamma-ray bursts. more...
Basics of the Solar Wind
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 63.00Introduction to solar wind for researchers and graduate students in atmospheric physics and astrophysics. more...
Physics of the Solar Corona
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 84.99Based on spacecraft observations, this book provides an introduction to solar physics. It introduces the solar corona, which has a temperature of several million degrees, and sets it in the context of basic plasma physics. It also describes spectacular phenomena, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections and their effects on the Earth. more...
Solar Dynamics and Its Effects on the Heliosphere and Earth
Springer 2007; US$ 169.99The SOHO and Cluster missions form a single ESA cornerstone. Yet they observe very different regions in our solar system: the solar atmosphere on one hand and the Earth??'s magnetosphere on the other. At the same time the Ulysses mission provides observations in the third dimension of the heliosphere, and many others add to the picture from the... more...
Coronal Mass Ejections
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99Offers a comprehensive and integrated overview of our present knowledge and understanding of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and their descendants, Interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs). This book is intended to provide scientists active in space physics research with an understanding of CMEs and ICMEs and their effects in the heliosphere. more...
From the Outer Heliosphere to the Local Bubble
Springer 2009; US$ 169.99Knowledge about the outer heliosphere and the interstellar medium, which were long treated as two separate fields, has improved dramatically over the years. This volume provides a synopsis of these developments organised into seven sections. It concludes with four papers providing the 'big picture'. more...
Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 54.00This book presents an introduction to, and state-of-the-art account of, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Applications to three topics from astrophysics are considered: the solar wind, accretion disks, and the interstellar medium. Suitable for graduate students and researchers working in turbulence theory, plasma physics and astrophysics. more...
The Outer Heliosphere
Elsevier Science 2001; US$ 255.00The eleventh COSPAR colloquium The Outer Heliosphere: The Next Frontiers was held in Potsdam, Germany, from 24-28 July, 2000, and is the second dedicated to this subject after the first one held in Warsaw, Poland in 1989. Roughly a century has passed after the first ideas by Oliver Lodge, George Francis Fitzgerald and Kristan Birkeland about particle... more...
