| Title | Microphysics of Cosmic Plasmas |
| Author(s) | Balogh, Andr??;Bykov, Andrei;Cargill, Peter;Dendy, Richard;Dudok de Wit, Thierry;Raymond, John |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 2014. |
| Description | VI, 637 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This title presents a review of the detailed aspects of the physical processes that underlie the observed properties, structures and dynamics of cosmic plasmas. An assessment of the status of understanding of microscale processes in all astrophysical collisionless plasmas is provided. The topics discussed include?? turbulence in astrophysical and solar system plasmas as a phenomenological description of their dynamic properties on all scales;??observational, theoretical and modelling aspects of collisionless magnetic reconnection; the formation and dynamics of shock waves; and a review and assessment of microprocesses, such as the hierarchy of plasma instabilities, non-local and non-diffusive transport processes and ionisation and radiation processes.?? In addition, some of the lessons that have been learned from the extensive existing knowledge of laboratory plasmas as applied to astrophysical problems are also covered. ?? This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers active in the areas of cosmic plasmas and space science. ?? Originally published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 278/2-4, 2013 |

| Title | The Solar Activity Cycle : Physical Causes and Consequences |
| Author(s) | Balogh, Andr??;Hudson, Hugh;Petrovay, Krist??f;Steiger, Rudolf |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2015. |
| Description | VI, 602 p. 314 illus., 245 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | A collection of papers edited by four experts in the field, this book sets out to describe the way solar activity is manifested in observations of the solar interior, the photosphere, the chromosphere, the corona and the heliosphere. The 11-year solar activity cycle, more generally known as the sunspot cycle, is a fundamental property of the Sun.?? This phenomenon is the generation and evolution of magnetic fields in the Sun???s convection zone, the photosphere.?? It is only by the careful enumeration and description of the phenomena and their variations that one can clarify their interdependences.?? ??The sunspot cycle has been tracked back about four centuries, and it has been recognized that to make this data set a really useful tool in understanding how the activity cycle works and how it can be predicted, a very careful and detailed effort is needed to generate sunspot numbers.?? This book deals with this topic, together with several others that present related phenomena that all indicate the physical processes that take place in the Sun and its exterior environment.?? The reviews in the book also present the latest theoretical and modelling studies that attempt to explain the activity cycle.?? It remains true, as has been shown in the unexpected characteristics of the first two solar cycles in the 21st century, that predictability remains a serious challenge.?? Nevertheless, the highly expert and detailed reviews in this book, using the very best solar observations from both ground- and space based telescopes, provide the best possible report on what is known and what is yet to be discovered.??Originally published in Space Science Reviews, Vol 186, Issues 1-4, 2014 |

| Title | Physics of Collisionless Shocks : Space Plasma Shock Waves |
| Author(s) | Balogh, Andr??;Treumann, Rudolf A |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2013. |
| Description | XII, 500 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The present book provides a contemporary systematic treatment of shock waves in high-temperature collisionless plasmas as are encountered in near Earth space and in Astrophysics. It consists of two parts. Part I develops the complete theory of shocks in dilute hot plasmas under the assumption of absence of collisions among the charged particles when the interaction is mediated solely by the self-consistent electromagnetic fields. Such shocks are naturally magnetised implying that the magnetic field plays an important role in their evolution and dynamics. This part treats both subcritical shocks, which dissipate flow energy by generating anomalous resistance or viscosity,??and supercritical shocks. The main emphasis is, however, on super-critical shocks where the anomalous dissipation is insufficient to retard the upstream flow. These shocks, depending on the direction of the upstream magnetic field, are distinguished as quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shocks which exhibit different behaviours, reflecting particles back upstream and generating high electromagnetic wave intensities. Particle acceleration and turbulence at such shocks become possible and important. Part II treats planetary bow shocks and the famous Heliospheric Termination shock as examples of two applications of the theory developed in Part I |
