Astrophysical plasmas and fluids

Krishan, V (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999)

Life was simple when the dynamic, the spectral and the resolving powers of our instruments were small. One observed whole objects - planets, stars, sunspots, galaxies, often in rainbow colours. Then the revolution occurred: ...
The Sun's rotation

Javaraiah, J (editor); Gokhale, M. H (editor) (Nova Science Publishers, 2002)

This book provides the present knowledge of the Sun's rotation, and its variation, as well as of the physical processes in the Sun and its atmosphere, which affect, and are affected by, the Sun's rotation. It is intended ...
An introduction to radiative transfer: methods and applications in astrophysics

Peraiah, A (Cambridge University Press, 2002)

Astrophysicists have developed several very different methodologies for solving the radiative transfer equation. An Introduction to Radiative Transfer applies these techniques to stellar atmospheres, planetary nebulae, ...
