Details

"The Physics of the Solar Corona and Transition Region" by Oddbjorn Engvold, John W. Harvey, C.J. Schrijver, Neal E. Hurlburt is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Deep Sky & Solar System. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.

Thirty papers comprise one of the two volumes which resulted from the August 1999 workshop. The papers revolve around one key theme: the entire outer atmosphere of the sun is intrinsically dynamic, evolving so rapidly that even the concept of a single local temperature for a single fluid often breaks down. In addition, the corona is an intrinsically nonlinear and non-local medium. Topics of the papers include: aspects of three-dimensional magnetic reconnection; long- lived coronal loops observed by TRACE; high-resolution observations of plasma jets in the solar corona; time variability of EUV brightenings in coronal loops observed by TRACE; radio versus EUV/X-ray observations of the solar atmosphere; and measuring the physical properties of the solar corona: results from SUMER/SOHO and TRACE. Reprinted from Solar Physics, v.190, nos.1-2, 1999. The CD-ROM contains electronic addenda which can be read using any Web browser. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
