{"product_id":"solar-flares-as-natural-particle-wei-liu-9783836474320","title":"Solar Flares as Natural Particle Accelerators","description":"Solar flares, which have significant space weather consequences, are natural particle accelerators and one of the most spectacular phenomena of solar activity. RHESSI is the most advanced solar X-ray and gamma-ray mission ever flown and has opened a new era in solar flare research following its launch in 2002. This book offers a glimpse of this active research area from a high-energy perspective and contains a comprehensive guideline for RHESSI data analysis. Its main theme is the investigation of particle acceleration and transport in solar flares. The strength of this book lies in its well-balanced account of the latest X-ray observations and theoretical models. The observational focus is on the morphology and spectra of imaged X-ray sources produced by nonthermal electrons or hot plasma. The modeling takes the novel approach of combining the Fokker-Planck treatment of the accelerated particles with the hydro-dynamic treatment of the heated atmosphere. Applications of this modeling technique reach beyond the Sun to other exotic environ-ments in the universe, such as extrasolar planetary auroras, stellar flares, and flares on accretion disks around neutron stars and black holes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wei Liu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836474328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836474320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Wei Liu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47203091841279,"sku":"9783836474320","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6047e57-709b-4fb4-92cf-4631ad197656.jpg?v=1756834309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solar-flares-as-natural-particle-wei-liu-9783836474320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
