Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a text/reference book which provides an up-to-date introduction and overview of the phenomenology and physical principles describing current knowledge of the Sun. A specific objective will be to focus on recent advances that have direct bearing on solar-terrestrial physics, stellar astronomy, and plasma astrophysics. The primary audience for the book will be undergraduate students in astrophysics, space physics, and atmospheric physics, and research scientists in these fields. The book would also be attractive to advanced amateur astronomers. The book is unique in offering an up-to-date and readable overview of solar astrophysics at a technical but non- specialist level. The book is heavily illustrated and problems are included for textbook use. The text will benefit astronomers and atmospheric, climate, and stellar physicists.
