The Sun
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-540-53796-0 (ISBN)
Wie in allen anderen Gebieten der Astronomie haben instrumenteller Fortschritt und neue Beobachtungstechniken auch in der Sonnenphysik zahlreiche, neue Erkenntnisse gebracht und neue Fragen aufgeworfen. Die vorliegende Study Edition enthält einen vollständigen Überblick über den heutigen Wissensstand in der Sonnenphysik und ihre aktuellen Probleme.
As in all other fields of astronomy, progress in instrumentation and observational techniques has in recent years brought a wealth of new information about the sun. This introduction presents a complete overview of solar physics, of what we know and would like to know. The increasing number of observations of solar pheno- mena on neighbouring stars makes this book valuable not only for students specializing in solar physics but also for researchers interested in stellar structure and the solar-stellar connection.
As in all other fields of astronomy, new observational techniques have yielded new results and also posed new questions. The Study Edition of this well-known book by M. Stix contains a complete survey of today's knowledge in solar physics and of the problems to be investigated.
