Chameleon fields and solar physics [PDF]
In this article we discuss some aspects of solar physics from the standpoint of the so-called chameleon fields (i.e. quantum fields, typically scalar, where the mass is an increasing function of the matter density of the environment). Firstly, we analyze

The infrared solar spectrum contains a wealth of physical data about our Sun, and is explored using modern detectors and technology with new ground-based solar telescopes. The scientific motivation behind exploring these wavelengths is presented, along with a brief look at the rich history of observations here. Several avenues of solar physics research

Solar Flares, the Solar Corona, and Solar Physics [PDF]
The Sun serves as the local physics laboratory for studying the suprathermal activity phenomena of stars. Scrutiny of the Sun has led to the discovery of a host of previously unknown physical effects, largely within the classical physics of Newton and Maxwell, but including quantum mechanics and lepton physics as well.

Galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energies larger than 100 MeV/n are able to penetrate and charge the test masses of the LISA experiment. As this process constitutes one of the major sources of noise for the experiment, a small telescope of silicon detectors will be located on board the LISA PathFinder and, possibly, the ...

The solar flare myth in solar-terrestrial physics [PDF]
Early observations of associations between solar flares and large non- recurrent geomagnetic storms, large {open_quote}solar{close_quote} energetic particle events, and transient shock wave disturbances in the solar wind led to a paradigm of cause and effect that gave flares a central position in the chain of events leading from solar activity to major

Solar neutrinos: Solar physics and neutrino physics [PDF]
Abstract It is shown that the current solar neutrino situation, with results from the Homestake experiment, the Kamiokande experiment, GALLEX and SAGE is unfortunately still ambiguous. The differences between observations and the standard solar theory may still be due to either astrophysical inputs or new neutrino physics.

As a free, intensive, rarely interactive and well directional messenger, solar neutrinos have been driving both solar physics and neutrino physics developments for more than half a century. Since more extensive and advanced neutrino experiments are under construction, being planned or proposed, we are striving toward an era of precise and comprehensive

Physics of the solar cycle [PDF]
The theory of the solar/stellar activity cycles is presented, based on the mean-field concept in magnetohydrodynamics. A new approach to the formulation of the electromotive force and the theory of differential rotation and meridional circulation is described.

Chromospheric telescope of Baikal Astrophysical Observatory. New light
A chromospheric telescope is an important instrument for synoptic observations and solar research. After several decades of observations with the chromospheric telescope at the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory, a need arose to improve the characteristics
