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...
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...
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...
Coronal Mass Ejections
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99The book introduces the solar coronal mass ejection phenomena. This includes both those observed in the corona and those further from the Sun, known as interplanetary coronal mass ejections. We discuss the history and physics behind these phenomena, theories describing their launch and evolution, association with other solar eruptive phenomena, and... 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...
The Heliosphere Through the Solar Activity Cycle
Springer 2007; US$ 119.99Understanding how the Sun changes though its 11-year sunspot cycle and how these changes affect the vast space around the Sun ??? the heliosphere ??? has been one of the principal objectives of space research since the advent of the space age. This book presents the evolution of the heliosphere through an entire solar activity cycle. The last solar... 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...
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...
