Overview

The volume begins with contributions on solar modelling, starting with the Standard Model. The experimental results on solar neutrinos precedes recent theoretical ideas on neutrino masses. Helioseismology is presented from both a theoretical and an experimental point of view, describing recent resul

Reviews

'Good print, rich illustrations, and many 'hot' topics are priorities of this book, which can be recommended to all astrophysicists, needing a good overview in this subject area. It is very suitable for the young scientist who need an exhaustive introduction to current problems in solar physics. ' Space Science Reviews58:386 1991
