Few phenomena have stirred the imaginations of solar scientists as
much as the explosive energy of solar flares. In The Physics of
Solar Flares, first published in 1988, Einar Tandberg-Hanssen and
A. Gordon Emslie approach this subject by drawing heavily on
experimental data from the Solar Maximum Mission, as well as other
ground-based and space-borne instruments. The data are incorporated
into many theoretical investigations. The authors put the main
emphasis on understanding the underlying physical processes.
Starting from the language of physics, the authors guide the reader
into the more specialised concepts of solar physics. The book is
divided into two main parts: four chapters set the essentials of
physics needed to attack the complexities of flare phenomena, and
then a further four treat different aspects of the phenomena. This
important book is aimed primarily at beginning graduate students
who are assumed to have knowledge of basic physics.
