This book addresses and reviews many of the still little understood
questions related to the processes underlying planetary magnetic
fields and their interaction with the solar wind. With focus on
research carried out within the German Priority Program
"PlanetMag", it also provides an overview of the most recent
research in the field. Magnetic fields play an important role in
making a planet habitable by protecting the environment from the
solar wind. Without the geomagnetic field, for example, life on
Earth as we know it would not be possible. And results from recent
space missions to Mars and Venus strongly indicate that planetary
magnetic fields play a vital role in preventing atmospheric erosion
by the solar wind. However, very little is known about the
underlying interaction between the solar wind and a planet's
magnetic field. The book takes a synergistic interdisciplinary
approach that combines newly developed tools for data acquisition
and analysis, computer simulations of planetary interiors and
dynamos, models of solar wind interaction, measurement of ancient
terrestrial rocks and meteorites, and laboratory investigations.
