| Author(s) | C.J. Schrijver, C. Zwaan |
| Description | 1 online resource (xvi, 384 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | This timely volume provides the first comprehensive review and synthesis of current understanding of magnetic fields in the Sun and similar stars. Magnetic activity results in a wealth of phenomena - including starspots, non-radiatively heated outer atmospheres, activity cycles, deceleration of rotation rates, and even, in close binaries, stellar cannibalism - all of which are covered clearly and authoritatively. This book brings together for the first time recent results in solar studies and stellar studies. The result is an illuminating new view of stellar magnetic activity. Key topics include radiative transfer, convective simulations, dynamo theory, outer-atmospheric heating, stellar winds and angular momentum loss. Researchers are provided with a state-of-the-art review of this exciting field, and the pedagogical style and introductory material make the book an ideal and welcome introduction for graduate students |
| Contents Note | Stellar structure -- Solar differential rotation and meridional flow -- Solar magnetic structure -- Solar magnetic configurations -- Global properties of the solar magnetic field -- The solar dynamo -- The solar outer atmosphere -- Stellar outer atmospheres -- Mechanisms of atmospheric heating -- Activity and stellar properties -- Stellar magnetic phenomena -- Activity and rotation on evolutionary time scales -- Activity in binary stars -- Propositions on stellar dynamos |

| Title | Magnetoconvection |

| Description | xi, 397p |

| Abstract Note | The last thirty years have seen great leaps forward in the subject of magnetoconvection. Computational techniques can now explain exotic nonlinear behaviour, transition to chaos and the formation of structures that can be observed on the surface of the Sun. Here, two leading experts present the current state of knowledge of the subject. They provide a mathematical and numerical treatment of the interactions between electrically conducting fluids and magnetic fields that lead to the complex structures and rich behaviour observed on the Sun and other stars, as well as in the interiors of planets like the Earth. The authors' combined analytical and computational approach provides a model for the study of a wide range of related problems. The discussion includes bifurcation theory, chaotic behaviour, pattern formation in two and three dimensions, and applications to geomagnetism and to the properties of sunspots and other features at the solar surface. |
