As in the days following Skylab, solar physics came to the end of
an era when the So lar Maximum Mission re-entered the earth's
atmosphere in December 1989. The 1980s had been a pioneering decade
not only in space- and ground-based studies of the solar atmosphere
(Solar Maximum Mission, Hinotori, VLA, Big Bear, Nanc;ay, etc.) but
also in solar-terrestrial relations (ISEE, AMPTE), and solar
interior neutrino and helioseismol ogy studies. The pace of
development in related areas of theory (nuclear, atomic, MHD,
beam-plasma) has been equally impressive. All of these raised
tantalizing further questions about the structure and dynamics of
the Sun as the prototypical and best observed star. This Advanced
Study Institute was timed at a pivotal point between that decade
and the realisation of Yohkoh, Ulysses, SOHO, GRANAT, Coronas, and
new ground-based optical facilities such as LEST and GONG, so as to
teach and inspire the up and coming young solar researchers of the
1990s. The topics, lecturers, and students were all chosen with
this goal in mind, and the result seems to have been highly
successful by all reports."
