Description

How do electrons that stream into the high atmosphere from above to create the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis acquire the necessary speeds and energies? ‘Electron Acceleration in the Aurora and Beyond’ explores this and other mysteries concerning the acceleration of electrons in the Earth’s magnetosphere, in the solar wind, at the Sun, at an ‘artificial comet’, and in the Cosmos. The author has had first-hand experience of exploring all of these areas and has pioneered the transition, which now seems to be complete, from the static to the dynamic theory of acceleration. He writes in a conversational style, inviting the reader into the discussion which ranges from the motion of charged particles in electromagnetic fields to the statistical mechanics of interactions between plasma waves and charged particles. The book is copiously illustrated with more than 170 figures and colour plates. Questions, exercises, and computer programs are provided to stimulate further thinking. ‘This is an absolute jewel of an introduction to the subject.’ Journal of Plasma Physics ‘His book is an excellent starting point for those about to embark on studies in space science.’ The Observatory ‘…the community should thank him for having written it.’ Eos, Transactions of the American Geophysical Union.
