The Physics of Solar and Stellar Coronae provides the first
comprehensive summary of the physical processes and phenomena
occurring in solar and stellar coronae as observed at X-ray and
other wavelengths. The book provides an early summary of the
spectacular new solar X-ray observations being obtained with the
Yohkoh satellite that are dramatically changing our understanding
of the dynamics of the solar corona. With the perspective of two
years' observations at X-ray and extreme ultraviolet wavelengths by
the ROSAT satellite, many authors present new insights into the
basic physical processes occurring in the coronae of stars across
the Hertzsprung--Russell Diagram including both pre-main sequence
and post-main sequence stars. Detailed models for the hot plasmas
typically contained in magnetic loops in both stellar and solar
coronae are presented to explain X-ray data obtained with the
earlier X-ray instruments on Skylab, SMM, Einstein, and EXOSAT. The
book includes papers on coronal observations obtained at other
wavelengths and papers of the history of Palermo Astronomical
Observatory. The Physics of Solar and Stellar Coronae is intended
for researchers in the fields of solar physics and stellar
astrophysics and will be a useful resource book for graduate level
astrophysics courses. (ABSTRACT) This is the first comprehensive
summary of the physical processes and phenomena occurring in solar
and stellar coronae. Spectacular new solar X-ray observations by
the Yohkoh satellite and stellar observations by ROSAT are
highlighted, together with theoretical papers and detailed analyses
of earlier data from Skylab, SMM, Einstein, and EXOSAT. Included
are papers on coronal observations at other wavelengths and on the
history of Palermo Astronomical Observatory.
