| Title | Magnetic helicity, spheromaks, solar corona loops, and astrophysical jets |
| Author(s) | Paul M. Bellan |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2018. |
| Description | xxii, 630p. |
| Abstract Note | Pedagogical in style, this book provides insights into plasma behavior valid over twenty orders of magnitude in both time and space. The book assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of magnetohydrodynamics and explains topics using detailed theoretical analysis supported by discussion of relevant experiments. This comprehensive approach gives the reader an understanding of the essential theoretical ideas and their application to real situations.
The book starts by explaining the topological concept of magnetic helicity and then develops a helicity-based model that predicts the ultimate state towards which magnetically-dominated plasmas evolve. The model predicts that no matter how messy or complicated the dynamics, a great range of plasma configurations always self-organize to a unique, simple final state. This self-organization, called relaxation, is a fundamental concept that unifies understanding of spheromaks, solar corona loops, interplanetary magnetic clouds, and astrophysical jets.
After establishing why relaxation occurs, the book then examines how relaxation occurs. It shows that relaxation involves a sequence of complex non-equilibrium dynamics including fast self-collimated plasma jets, kink instabilities, magnetic reconnection, and phenomena outside the realm of magnetohydrodynamics. |

| Title | Physics of the solar corona: An introduction |
| Author(s) | Markus J. Aschwanden |
| Publication | Chichester, Praxis Publishing, 2004. |
| Description | xix, 842p. |
| Contents Note | The book focuses on new physical insights that have mostly been obtained from the last two decades of space missions, such as from soft X-ray observations with Yohkoh, extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) observations with SoHO and TRACE, and hard X-ray observations with COMPTON and the recently launched RHESSI. The last decade (1999-2002) has been the most exciting era in the exploration of the solar corona in all wavelenghts, producing unprecedented stunning pictures, movies, and high-precision spectral and temporal data |

| Title | Solar corona |
| Author(s) | Leon Golub;Jay M. Pasachoff |
| Edition | 3rd ed. |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1997. |
| Abstract Note | Intended for graduate students and astronomers seeking an introduction to coronal physics, this textbook strikes a balance between the observational and theoretical aspects of the subject. This second edition takes into account the major observational and theoretical developments of recent years to provide an up-to-date treatment of our understanding of the solar corona. After reviewing the latest observations of the solar corona, the authors explain how the studies have advanced and shaped our understanding of coronal physics. The textbook introduces a wide variety of exciting physics, including dynamo theory and magnetohydrodynamics, and shows how the transient effects of the solar cycle affect space weather. Each subject area is introduced using basic physics, and refers readers to fundamental papers on the topic, key new studies in each area, and extensive discussions in recent review articles. |
