Contents:
Methods and techniques in helioseismology -- Solar magnetic fields: an introduction -- Heating of chromospheres and coronae -- Solar wind -- Plasma diagnostics for the solar atmosphere -- Radiative transfer and radiation hydrodynamics -- Basic concepts in solar magnetohydrodynamics -- Heliospheric plasma physics: an introduction -- Instrumentation: Spectroscopy -- A SOHO user manual -- SOHO: an example of Project Management -- Future ESA Projects.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This is a fair overview of the basic problems in Solar Physics. The authors address not only the physics that is well understood but also discuss many open questions. The lecturers' involvement in the SOHO mission guarantees a modern and up-to-date analysis of observational data and makes this volume an extremely valuable source for further research.
