Die magnetisch aktive Sonne steht im Zentrum unseres Sonnensystems.
Aus ihrer Korona strömt der Sonnenwind stetig in alle Richtungen
und formt eine großräumige magnetisierte Plasmahülle um unser
Zentralgestirn: die Heliosphäre. Zusammen mit der aus dem
Interstellaren Medium eindringenden kosmischen Partikelstrahlung
prägt der Sonnenwind die Entwicklung des Weltraumwetters im
Interplanetaren Raum sowie in den Magnetosphären und Ionosphären
der Planeten. Wie entstehen Kometenschweife und Polarlichter?
Welchen Einfluss hat der Sonnenwind auf das Leben im Erdsystem?
Unterstützt durch faszinierende Abbildungen astronomischer
Himmelsobjekte, durch erklärende Grafiken, wissenschaftliche
Originaldaten sowie durch die Verknüpfungshinweise zu
Videosequenzen werden die zugrundeliegenden physikalischen Prozesse
und neuesten Erkenntnisse didaktisch aufbereitet und mit wenigen
mathematischen Herleitungen anschaulich erläutert. Dieses Sachbuch
wendet sich allgemein an die gebildete Öffentlichkeit, an
Amateurastronomen aber auch an junge Studierende, die sich einen
umfassenden Überblick über die generelle Bedeutung magnetischer
Vorgänge sowie ein tieferes Verständnis der Prozesse in den
Weltraumplasmen unseres Sonnensystems verschaffen möchten.
This volume explores the cross-linkages between the kinetic
processes and macroscopic phenomena in the solar atmosphere, which
are at the heart of our current understanding of the heating of the
closed and open corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. The
focus lies on novel data, on theoretical models that have
observable consequences through remote sensing, and on near-solar
and inner-heliosphere observations, such as anticipated by the
upcoming Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe missions, which are
currently developed by the international community. This volume is
aimed at students and researchers active in solar physics and space
science. Previously published in Space Science Reviews journal,
Vol. 172, Nos. 1-4, 2012.

In May 1998 a hundred renowned scientists from 20 different
countries met at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Aeronomie to
communicate their latest results and ideas in astrophysical and
space plasma, as a follow-up to previous similar meetings which
were held in Varenna, Abastumai, Potsdam, Toki and Guaruja. The
main papers emerging from this meeting are collected in this
volume. They deal with fundamental plasma phenomena, particle and
radiation processes in astrophysics and space physics as the origin
of magnetic activity, the basic mechanisms of particle acceleration
and plasma heating common to plasma in galaxies and at the sun as
well as in planetary magnetospheres. New observational results from
YOHKOH, SOHO and other missions are presented. Using these, the
basic physical processes leading to coronal heating and
solar/stellar wind acceleration are discussed. Other topics are the
microphysics of shock waves and transport phenomena in
collisionless plasmas and the physics of thin plasma boundaries.
The volume also treats the ionic composition of plasma and dust in
the Universe and their observability in the solar system. A CD-ROM
is attached which adds a valuable multimedia component,
illuminating results of observations, theory and simulations.
Everyone interested in astrophysical plasmas, its radiation and
charged particle aspects, and advanced or even beginning students
will find references to nearly all modern aspects of plasma
astrophysics and space physics as well as an overview of current
research results.
Physics of the Inner Heliosphere gives for the first time a
comprehensive and complete summary of our knowledge of the inner
solar system. Using data collected over more than 11 years by the
HELIOS twin solar probes, one of the most successful ventures in
unmanned space exploration, the authors have compiled six extensive
reviews of the physical processes of the inner heliosphere and
their relation to the solar atmosphere. Researchers and advanced
students in space and plasma physics, astronomy, and solar physics
will be surprised to see just how closely the heliosphere is tied
to, and how sensitively it depends on, the sun. Volume 2 deals with
particles, waves, and turbulence, with chapters on: - magnetic
clouds - interplanetary clouds - the solar wind plasma and MHD
turbulence - waves and instabilities - energetic particles in the
inner solar system
Physics of the Inner Heliosphere gives for the first time a
comprehensive and complete summary of our knowledge of the inner
solar system. Using data collected over more than 11 years by the
HELIOS twin solar probes, one of the most successful ventures in
unmanned space exploration, the authors have compiled 10 extensive
reviews of the physical processes of the inner heliosphere and
their connections to the solar atmosphere. Researchers and advanced
students in space and plasma physics, astronomy, and solar physics
will be surprised to see just how closely the heliosphere is tied
to the sun and how sensitively it depends on our star. The four
chapters of Volume I of the work deal with large-scale phenomena: -
observations of the solar corona - the structure of the
interplanetary medium - the interplanetary magnetic field -
interplanetary dust.
This is the first book to give a comprehensive overview of recent
observational and theoretical results on solar wind structures and
fluctuations and magnetohydrodynamic waves and turbulence,
preference being given to phenomena in the inner heliosphere.
Emphasis is placed on the progress made in the past decade in the
understanding of the nature and origin of especially small-scale,
compressible and incompressible fluctuations. Turbulence models
describing the spatial transport and spectral transfer of the
fluctuations in the inner heliosphere are discussed. Intermittency
of solar wind fluctuations and their statistical distributions are
investigated. Studies of the heating and acceleration effects of
the turbulence on the background wind are critically surveyed.
Finally, open questions concerning the origin, nature and evolution
of the fluctuations are listed, and perspectives for future
research are outlined. The book is for graduate students and
researchers in the field. Other target groups are scientists and
professionals interested in space plasma physics and/or MHD
turbulence.
