Synopsis

Designed as a text for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students, this volume attempts to establish the curriculum for the modern student entering the fledgling field of space physics. The book provides a broad, yet selective, treatment of the subject, covering virtually all aspects of space plasmas in the solar system. There are sections on the sun and solar wind, the magnetized and unmagnetized planets, and the fundamental process of space plasmas including shocks, plasma waves, ULF waves, wave-particle interactions, and auroral processes. In addition to emphasizing analysis, the authors also place importance on underlying phenomenology with extensive attention to observations.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

All aspects of space plasmas in the solar system are introduced and explored in this text for senior undergraduate and graduate students. Introduction to Space Physics provides a broad, yet selective, treatment of the complex interactions of the ionized gases of the solar-terrestrial environment. The book includes extensive discussions of the sun and solar wind, the magnetized and unmagnetized planets, and the fundamental processes of space Plasmas, including shocks, plasma waves, ULF waves, wave-particle interactions, and auroral processes. The text devotes particular attention to space-plasma observations and integrates these with phenomenological and theoretical interpretations.

Highly coordinated chapters, written by experts in their fields, combine to provide a comprehensive introduction to space physics. Based on an advanced undergraduate and graduate course presented in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at UCLA, the text will be valuable to both students and professionals in the field.
