The Many Faces of the Sun; A Summary of the Results from NASA's Solar Maximum Mission

Small ink mark on rep. Some edge soiling noted. A remarkable story of excitement drama and discovery started when the Solar Maximum Mission SMM was launched on 1980 February 14. The launch was on a Thor Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral and remarkably was only a few months behind the original schedule set five years earlier. Fortunately for all those involved the Sun had just passed the peak of activity cycle #21 so members of the instrument teams could look forward to several years when flare-related activity was expected to be high. Keith Strong is a NASA solar scientist. He started as data analyst on the NASA Solar Mission X-ray Polychromator Experiment in 1980. In 1984 appointed Principal Investigator of XRP to 1991. He was the co-investigator on Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope - scientific planning. He also chaired the NASA Sun-Earth Connection Roadmap Committee that put the Living with a Star program in place. A decade of observations of the Sun with NASA's Solar Maximum Mission satellite has led to many discoveries in solar physics and atomic physics. While the analysis of the data is still continuing a huge body of literature has now been published interpreting results from the mission. This book collects a review of these results in a single volume to provide a snapshot as it were of the current state of knowledge of solar physics. It will thus be a useful tool for both teaching and research as well as a guide to planners of future missions to investigate the Sun. Individual chapters each written by an expert in solar physics cover such topics as: Variations in the solar irradiance; Active regions of the Sun; The corona: elemental abundances; coronal mass ejections; Chromospheric evaporation; Solar flares; ultraviolet flares; nonthermal flare emissions; Flare dynamics; preflare activity; the gradual phase of flares; particle acceleration in flares; Spectroscopy and atomic physics; Solar-terrestrial science; The solar-stellar connection; Comet observations; and Cosmic studies.
