This book presents a pedagogical, updated and modern view of the Sun from its interior to its exterior as well as the Sun-Earth system. Written by eminent scientists in solar physics, the chapters deal with recent advances in solar physics, seismic Sun, solar magnetic field, waves and oscillations, spectroscopic diagnostics of solar plasmas, partially ionized lower atmosphere, coronal heating, coronal mass ejections, radio Sun, solar wind, and the Sun-Earth system. Each chapter is fully illustrated and has a comprehensive reference list. The book covers all major topics in solar physics, and presents a rich menu to motivate graduate students who wish to pursue a solar physics research career.

This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the National Workshop on Recent Advances in Condensed Matter and High Energy Physics-2021 (CMHEP-2021). This workshop was held in the Department of Physics, Ewing Christian College (ECC), Prayagraj, in collaboration with National Academic of Sciences (NASI), Prayagraj, India, in 2021. The book highlights recent theoretical and experimental developments in condensed matter and high energy physics which include novel phases of matter, namely crystalline and non-crystalline phases, unconventional superconducting phases, magnetic phases and Quark–Gluon plasma phases along with searches of neutrino and dark matter. This book provides a good resource for beginners as well as advanced researchers in the field of condensed matter and high energy physics.

Paperback. This publication contains 29 papers on topics concerning the physics of the solar atmosphere. Papers were presented at a symposium on this subject at the thirty-first COSPAR Scientific Assembly, held in Birmingham, UK 1996. Most of the observations reported in this volume are from the recently commissioned SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft and from the Yohkoh satellite which has been successfully observing the sun during its evolution from maximum to minimum activity during the twenty-second solar cycle. The SOHO-based papers include the first observations of the solar corona in the ultraviolet domain. This allows a description of the plasma conditions not only in the inner solar atmosphere but, for the first time, also in the extended corona. The Yohkoh-based papers include studies on flares and on the evolution of the corona during the solar cycle. Some of the contributions report on the development in spectral diagnosis a
