Space Solar Physics Theoretical and Observational Issues in the Context of the SOHO Mission Proceedings of a Summer School Held in Orsay, France, 1–13 September 1997 / [electronic resource] : edited by Jean Claude Vial, Karine Bocchialini, Patrick Boumier. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1998. - XIII, 298 p. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Physics, 507 0075-8450 ; . - Lecture Notes in Physics, 507 .

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.

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.
