Sinopsis

The first edition of this textbook became outdated because of the wealth of new observations from space missions. This second edition is thus 100 pages longer than the first. All nine chapters have been thoroughly revised. The book now includes the 11-year variation of the solar luminosity and a discussion of 13 years of solar neutrino search. The reader will also find a discussion of the improved standard model of the Sun. The book takes advantage of advances made in helioseismology, in numerical simulations and observations from space to improve the sections on, for example, the hydrodynamics of the convection zone or on the source region of the solar wind. The many problems for students have been redone and expanded.

Reseña del editor

A wealth of new experimental and theoretical results has been obtained in solar physics since the first edition of this textbook appeared in 1989. Thus all nine chapters have been thoroughly revised, and about 100 pages and many new illustrations have been added to the text. The additions include element diffusion in the solar interior, the recent neutrino experiments, methods of image restoration, observational devices used for spectroscopy and polarimetry, and new developments in helioseismology and numerical simulation. The book takes particular advantage of the results of several recent space missions, which lead to substantial progress in our understanding of the Sun, from the deep interior to the corona and solar wind.
