Physics of Solar Flares

Klappentext The authors explore solar flares by applying physics and theoretical investigations.The authors explore the aspects of solar flares by understanding the underlying physical processes and in two parts: physics needed to understand this phenomena and the second for attacking different aspects of the phenomena. This important book is aimed primarily at beginning graduate students who have knowledge of basic physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Units, constants and symbols; Preface; 1.
