  • Solar Neutrons and Related Phenomena

    by Lev Dorman ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Short Historical Overview In the 1940s, two phenomena in the ?eld of cosmic rays (CR) forced scientists to think that the Sun is a powerful source of high-energy particles. One of these was discovered because of the daily solar variation of CR, which the maximum number of CR observed near noon (referring to the existence of continuous ?ux of CR from the direction of the Sun); this became the ...

  • Cosmogenic Radionuclides

    Theory and Applications in the Terrestrial and Space Environments

    by Jürg Beer, Ken McCracken, Rudolf Steiger ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Cosmogenic radionuclides are radioactive isotopes which are produced by natural processes and distributed within the Earth system. With a holistic view of the environment the authors show in this book how cosmogenic radionuclides can be used to trace and to reconstruct the history of a large variety of processes. They discuss the way in which cosmogenic radionuclides can assist in the ... Read more

  • Kinetic Theory of the Inner Magnetospheric Plasma

    by George V. Khazanov ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The inner magnetosphere plasma is a very unique composition of different plasma particles and waves. It covers a huge energy plasma range with spatial and time variations of many orders of magnitude. In such a situation, the kinetic approach is the key element, and the starting point of the theoretical description of this plasma phenomena which requires a dedicated book to this particular area of ...

  • Planetary Aeronomy

    Atmosphere Environments in Planetary Systems

    by Siegfried Bauer, Helmut Lammer ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Planetary Aeronomy is a modern and concise introduction to the underlying physical and chemical processes that govern the formation and evolution of the upper atmospheres of planets. The general approach employed permits consideration of the growing number of extrasolar planets, the detailed observation of which will become possible over the next decades. The book explains the physics behind many ... Read more

  • Plasma Turbulence in the Solar System

    by Yasuhito Narita ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Dynamics of astrophysical systems is often described by plasma physics, yet understanding the nature of plasma turbulence remains as a challenge in physics in both theories and experiments. This book is an up-to-date summary and review of recent results in research on waves and turbulence in near-Earth space plasma turbulence, obtained by Cluster, the multi-spacecraft mission. Spatial and temporal ... Read more

  • Interactions of Earth’s Magnetotail Plasma with the Surface, Plasma, and Magnetic Anomalies of the Moon

    by Yuki Harada ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This thesis describes the essential features of Moon-plasma interactions with a particular emphasis on the Earth's magnetotail plasma regime from both observational and theoretical standpoints. The Moon lacks a dense atmosphere as well as a strong intrinsic magnetic field. As a result, its interactions with the ambient plasma are drastically different from solar-wind interactions with magnetized ... Read more

  • Solar Energetic Particles

    A Modern Primer on Understanding Sources, Acceleration and Propagation

    by Donald V. Reames ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This concise primer introduces the non-specialist reader to the physics of solar energetic particles (SEP) and systematically reviews the evidence for the two main mechanisms which lead to the so-called impulsive and gradual SEP events.More specifically, the timing of the onsets, the longitude distributions, the high-energy spectral shapes, the correlations with other solar phenomena (e.g. coronal ...

  • Turbulence in the Solar Wind

    by Roberto Bruno, Vincenzo Carbone ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides an overview of solar wind turbulence from both the theoretical and observational perspective. It argues that the interplanetary medium offers the best opportunity to directly study turbulent fluctuations in collisionless plasmas. In fact, during expansion, the solar wind evolves towards a state characterized by large-amplitude fluctuations in all observed parameters, which ... Read more

  • Shapes and Dynamics of Granular Minor Planets

    The Dynamics of Deformable Bodies Applied to Granular Objects in the Solar System

    by Ishan Sharma ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book develops a general approach that can be systematically refined to investigate the statics and dynamics of deformable solid bodies. These methods are then employed to small bodies in the Solar System. With several space missions underway and more being planned, interest in our immediate neighbourhood is growing. In this spirit, this book investigates various phenomena encountered in ... Read more

  • Australia's Little Space Travellers

    The Flight Shaped Tektites of Australia

    by Don McColl ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a showcase for the incredibly well-preserved flight-textured tektites of southern Australia, which are the world’s finest known examples. It provides an overview of their forms and flight features, which can be expected to appear, at least in part, on any objects falling from space. Some of these specimens are so perfectly shaped that it is hard to believe that they have been ... Read more
