Description for Plasma Astrophysics: Kinetic Processes in Solar and Stellar Coronae
hardcover. Provides a basic introduction to plasma phenomena in solar and stellar coronae emphasizing non-MHD aspects. This book addresses advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students without a background in plasma physics. It is aimed at senior research workers involved in coronal physics of the Sun and other stars, and solar/stellar winds. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 309 pages, 45 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PGS; PHVB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 1390.
This textbook is intended as an introduction to the physics of solar and stellar coronae, emphasizing kinetic plasma processes. It is addressed to observational astronomers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates without a ba- ground in plasma physics. Coronal physics is today a vast field with many different aims and goals. So- ing out the really important aspects of an observed phenomenon and using the physics best suited for the case is a formidable problem. There are already several excellent books, oriented toward the interests of astrophysicists, that deal with the magnetohydrodynamics of stellar atmospheres, radiation transport, and radiation theory.
