MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere

ISBN: 9781108633581 出版年：2019 页码：530 Bernard Roberts Cambridge University Press

This volume presents a full mathematical exposition of the growing field of coronal seismology which will prove invaluable for graduate students and researchers alike. Roberts' detailed and original research draws upon the principles of fluid mechanics and electromagnetism, as well as observations from the trace and sdo spacecraft and key results in solar wave theory. The unique challenges posed by the extreme conditions of the sun's atmosphere, which often frustrate attempts to develop a comprehensive theory, are tackled with rigour and precision; complex models of sunspots, coronal loops and prominences are presented, based on a magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) view of the solar atmosphere, and making use of faraday's concept of magnetic flux tubes to analyse oscillatory phenomena. The rapid rate of progress in coronal seismology makes this essential reading for those hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the field.
