- Cover text:
Over the past ten years, results from a new generation of
solar space missions have become available. Based on those
missions and observations made at many wavelengths, from
hard X-rays, soft X-rays, extreme UV and radio wavelengths,
this book is a comprehensive introduction to solar physics.
It describes the solar corona, and sets it in the context
of basic plasma physics before moving on to discuss plasma
instabilities, plasma heating, magnetic reconnection and
particle acceleration processes. The latest results on
coronal heating and radiation - fundamental processes in
all stars - are presented. Spectacular phenomena, such as
solar flares and coronal mass ejections, are described in
detail.
