Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas provides a comprehensive theory and practice of basic plasma processes in the Sun and heliosphere. It deals with the basic dynamics of the Sun from its interior up to its outer atmosphere in the framework of Magnetohydrodynamics. Topics covered include essential phenomena in the solar interior such as magnetism, dynamos and helioseismology and in the solar atmosphere such as waves, shocks, instabilities, reconnection and coronal heating. The book provides frontline research aspects of solar plasma processes. In addition, the content is relevant for astrophysical plasmas, laboratory plasmas, fluid dynamics and related basic fields. Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas not only focuses on the fundamentals of the processes under consideration but in addition it presents recent research developments. In this manner it forms an essential reference for researchers, academics and advanced students in solar physics, astrophysics and related disciplines.

• Applies fundamental solar science and research in magnetohydrodynamic processes to practice, and uses in teaching and research
• Covers the latest developments in solar plasma processes in terms of both theoretical and fundamental aspects.
• Includes the large cohort of plasma processes (e.g., waves, shocks, instabilities, reconnection, heating, magnetism, seismology) significant for the diverse scales of the plasmas and fluids.
• Provides detailed physical and mathematical descriptions of the theories in each chapter, along with scientific details, which will enhance understanding of basic phenomena and aid in applying the practical content to current research

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:

Abhishek Kumar Srivastava is a Professor of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, India. He works in the field of solar and heliospheric physics, and his research focuses on the study of magnetohydrodynamic waves, coronal heating, various solar eruptive phenomena and transients in the Sun's atmosphere.

Marcel Goossens is professor emeritus in Applied Mathematics in the Centre of mathematical Plasma Astrophysics of the Department of Mathematics of the KU Leuven. His research spans more than five decades and has dealt with global stellar oscillations, magnetohydrodynamic waves and instabilities in solar and space plasmas, and magnetohydrodynamic seismology of the solar atmosphere.

Iñigo Arregui is a physicist working as a staff researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. He completed a PhD in Physics at Universitat de les Illes Balears with a thesis on magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar atmosphere. His research focuses on the interpretation and modelling of wave activity in the solar atmosphere, designing tools for remote diagnostics of solar atmospheric plasmas, and the study of wave-based plasma heating mechanisms.
