Plasma Astrophysics: Kinetic Processes in Solar and Stellar Coronae, Second Edition [PDF]
A collision‐less plasma is an ionized fluid that is so hot and tenuous that interactions between individual particles are unimportant. In such a plasma, electric and magnetic fields mediate interactions among particles, and fundamental physics is addressed by kinetic theories that describe not only the spatial and temporal variations of the medium, but

Advances in Solar-Stellar Astrophysics [PDF]
The discovery on stars of coronae and of X-ray emission from flares in the 1970's opened up the investigation of stellar activity. Solar-stellar astrophysics has now become a two-way street. The rich detail of the Sun provides a close-up view of physical phenomena, while the stellar observations provide a way to, in effect, vary the otherwise fixed ...

Solar, Stellar and Galactic Connections Between Particle Physics and Astrophysics [PDF]
The very small and the very large are intimately connected in Nature. Particle physics and astrophysics meet in fundamental questions: the structure and evolution of stars; their end and how this is manifested; how we think galaxies are created from matter we have yet to discover and why we believe the most energetic particles cannot come from the ...

Stellar Physics and General Relativity
The general theory of relativity is currently established as the most precise theory of gravity supported by observations, and its application is diverse ranging from astronomy to cosmology, while its application to astrophysics has been restricted only ...

Understanding the Duration of Solar and Stellar Flares at Various Wavelengths [PDF]
Recent irradiance measurements from numerous heliophysics and astrophysics missions including Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), GOES, Kepler, TESS, Chandra, the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission, and NICER have provided critical input into understanding the ...

Application of a Magnetic-field-induced Transition in Fe x to Solar and Stellar Coronal Magnetic Field Measurements [PDF]
Magnetic fields play a key role in driving a broad range of dynamic phenomena in the atmospheres of the Sun and other stars. Routine and accurate measurements of the magnetic fields at all the atmospheric layers are of critical importance to understand ...

Atomic diffusion in solar-like stars with MESA. Comparison with the Montreal/Montpellier and CESTAM stellar evolution codes [PDF]
Context. The stellar evolution code Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is public and is widely used by the community. It includes the possibility of taking several non-standard processes such as atomic di ff usion into account. Even if

Connecting measurements of solar and stellar brightness variations [PDF]
Context. A comparison of solar and stellar brightness variations is hampered by the difference in spectral passbands that are used in observations, and also by the possible difference in the inclination of the solar and stellar rotation axes from the ...
