| Title | Nonlinear MHD Waves and Turbulence : Proceedings of the Workshop Held in Nice, France, 1???4 December 1998 |
| Author(s) | Passot, Thierry;Sulem, Pierre-Louis |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1999. |
| Description | X, 385 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The workshop "Nonhnear MHD Waves and Turbulence" was held at the - servatoire de Nice, December 1-4, 1998 and brought together an international group of experts in plasma physics, fluid dynamics and applied mathematics. The aim of the meeting was to survey the current knowledge on two main topics: (i) propagation of plasma waves (like Alfven, whistler or ion-acoustic waves), their instabilities and the development of a nonlinear dynamics lea?? ding to solitonic structures, wave collapse or weak turbulence; (ii) turbulence in magnetohydrodynamic flows and its reduced description in the presence of a strong ambient magnetic fleld. As is well known, both aspects play an important role in various geophysical or astrophysical media such as the - gnetospheres of planets, the heliosphere, the solar wind, the solar corona, the interplanetary and interstellar media, etc. This volume, which includes expanded versions of oral contributions pre?? sented at this meeting, should be of interest for a large community of resear?? chers in space plasmas and nonlinear sciences. Special effort was made to put the new results into perspective and to provide a detailed literature review. A main motivation was the attempt to relate more closely the theoretical un?? derstanding of MHD waves and turbulence (both weak and strong) with the most recent observations in space plasmas. Some papers also bring interesting new insights into the evolution of hydrodynamic or magnetohydrodynamic structures, based on systematic asymptotic methods |

| Title | Astrophysical Applications of Gravitational Lensing : Proceedings of the 173rd Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, Held in Melbourne, Australia, 9???14 July, 1995 |
| Author(s) | Kochanek, C.S;Hewitt, J.N |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1996. |
| Description | XVI, 443 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | EDWIN TURNER AND RACHEL WEBSTER Co-Chairs, Scientific Organizing Committee lAU Symposium 173, Astrophysical Applications of Gravitational Lenses, was held in Melbourne, Australia from July 9-14, 1995. The Symposium was sponsored by lAU Commissions 47 and 40. With the discovery by Walsh and collaborators of the first instance of a gravitational lens, the multiply imaged quasar 0957+561, the area of grav?? itational lensing moved from speculative theory to a major astrophysical tool. Since that time, there have been regular, approximately biennial in?? ternational meetings both in Europe and in North America, which have specifically focussed on gravitational lensing. On this occasion, with the blessing of the lA U, the meeting was held at the University of Melbourne in Australia. It was the first international astronomical meeting to be held at the University of Melbourne, and hope?? fully has given the astronomical community some enthusiasm for trekking half-way round the globe to Australia to discuss their latest work |

| Title | Solar and Stellar Physics : Proceedings of the 5th European Solar Meeting Held in Titisee/Schwarzwald, Germany, April 27-30, 1987 |
| Author(s) | Schr??ter, Egon-Horst;Sch??ssler, Manfred |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1987. |
| Description | V, 234 p. 20 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | These proceedings bring together ideas from solar and stellar physics. The sun is near enough for rather detailed observations and one chapter is devoted to the more recent experimental data from observations from space. On the other hand the multitude of stars provides a wide range of physical parameters to test hypotheses in solar and stellar astrophysics. The reader will find an illuminating overview of these fields ranging from the dynamo in the convection zone to the stellar envelopes and winds in the outer regions. In particular the importance of small-scale magnetohydrodynamic processes for the activity phenomena plays an important role in the contributions to this volume. For both students and researchers the general introduction by N. O. Weiss makes an excellent guide to this very active field of research. (See also Lecture Notes in Physics Vol. 291.) |

| Title | Tunable Solid State Lasers for Remote Sensing : Proceedings of the NASA Conference Stanford University, Stanford, USA, October 1???3, 1984 |
| Author(s) | Byer, Robert L;Gustafson, Eric K;Trebino, Rick |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1985. |
| Description | XI, 156 p. 6 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Workshop on Tunable Solid State Lasers for Remote Sensing was held at Stanford University in October 1984 to assess the state of the art in tunable solid state lasers for remote sensing from satellite platforms. The value of conducting global remote sensing measurements of atmospheric chemistry, climate, and weather in the 1990s is now established. What is not yet defined, however, is the status of the developing tunable laser technology that must meet both the scientific requirements and the space platform constraints. This workshop was convened by the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology (OAST) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to assess the status and progress in tunable solid state laser sources for remote sensing. The workshop was organized to facilitate information exchange across a number of technologies from remote sensing requirements to crystal growth of the materials important for the development of the tunable laser sources. The emphasis was on the recent developments in tunable solid state laser sources necessary to meet the future transmitter requirements for global remote sensing. A goal of the workshop was to form recommendations to NASA on the current and future prospects for solid state laser technology that will allow remote sensing measurements from air, shuttle, and free-flying satellite platforms. The emphasis was on solid state laser sources because they offer the best potential for meeting the demanding requirements of compact size, good efficiency, and long operational lifetimes required for future space station and free-flying platform operation |

| Title | Physics of Planetary Rings : Celestial Mechanics of Continuous Media |
| Author(s) | Fridman, Alexei M;Gorkavyi, Nikolai N |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1999. |
| Description | XXI, 437 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Physics of Planetary Rings describes striking structures in the planetary rings of Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Neptune. In Saturn, the rings are stratified into thousands of ringlets united in a complex hierarchical structure with spiral waves and gaps; in Uranus, they are compressed into narrow streams; and in Neptune, one observes a chain of clumps. This abundance of dynamical structures is the result of unique instabilities and the resonance action of satellites. The authors have made decisive contributions to research into collisional, collective and resonance phenomena in planetary rings. They correctly predicted the existence of unknown Uranian satellites prior to the Voyager 2 fly-by. The combination of a high quality description, interesting illustrations and a fascinating and natural presentation will make this book of great interest to a broad readership, including astronomers, physicists, mathematicians, students and amateur astronomers |

| Title | Generating Families in the Restricted Three-Body Problem |
| Author(s) | Henon, Michel |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1997. |
| Description | XI, 280 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The classical restricted problem of three bodies is of fundamental importance for its applications to astronomy and space navigation, and also as a simple model of a non-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical system. A central role is played by periodic orbits, of which a large number have been computed numerically. In this book an attempt is made to explain and organize this material through a systematic study of generating families, which are the limits of families of periodic orbits when the mass ratio of the two main bodies becomes vanishingly small. The most critical part is the study of bifurcations, where several families come together and it is necessary to determine how individual branches are joined. Many different cases must be distinguished and studied separately. Detailed recipes are given. Their use is illustrated by determining a number of generating families, associated with natural families of the restricted problem, and comparing them with numerical computations in the Earth-Moon and Sun-Jupiter case |

| Title | Plasma Physics : Basic Theory with Fusion Applications |
| Author(s) | Nishikawa, Kyoji;Wakatani, Masashiro |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1990. |
| Description | XI, 312 p. 9 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Beginning at an introductory level, this text presents a thorough treatment of plasma physics, including an extensive discussion of its applications in thermonuclear fusion research. A novel feature of this book is its comprehensive description of the various concepts and formulas widely used in fusion theory based on the fundamental equations of the plasma fluid. The physics of fusion plasmas is explained mainly in relation to recent progress in tokamak research, but other plasma confinement schemes, such as stellarators and inertial confinement, are also described. The unique and systematic presentation will help readers to understand the overall structure of plasma theory and will facilitate access to more advanced literature on special topics |

| Title | Space Physics : An Introduction to Plasmas and Particles in the Heliosphere and Magnetospheres |
| Author(s) | Kallenrode, May-Britt |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1998. |
| Description | XIII, 357 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The heliosphere and magnetospheres of the planets provide large natural plasma laboratories. This book is a broad, yet selective treatment of the physics of ionized gases and charged particles in the solar-terrestrial environment. The first few chapters deal with the fundamentals of plasma physics, covering such topics as single-particle motion, plasmas as fluids, magnetohydrodynamics, a brief introduction to kinetic theory, and plasma waves. Subsequent chapters discuss observations of the sun and the solar wind, energetic particles in interplanetary space and in the magnetoshperes, magnetized and unmagnetized planets, and solar-terrestrial relations, in particular the aurora. These chapters also describe the applications of these principles to space-plasma observations and introduce more-complex phenomena, such as collisionless shocks and wave-particle interactions.> |
