Solar and Planetary Dynamos
“Solar and Planetary Dynamos” by P. C. Matthews, published by Cambridge University Press in 1993, is a comprehensive collection of research papers focused on dynamo theory, which examines how large-scale magnetic fields develop in celestial bodies such as the Earth, Sun, and stars. This edition spans 366 pages and is presented in English, featuring contributions from experts who gathered at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge in September 1992.
Readers will find a unified presentation of various topics related to dynamo theory, including the modeling of solar magnetic field generation and the dynamics of the Earth’s core. The book also explores magnetic fields in galaxies and the regeneration of magnetic fields in highly conductive fluids. This volume serves as a detailed record of contemporary research in the fields of mathematics, physics, and astrophysics, making it a valuable resource for those interested in planetary and stellar science.
Official synopsis Publisher
Dynamo theory is the study of how large scale magnetic fields can arise in bodies such as the Earth, Sun and stars, and it brings together researchers in such diverse subjects as geophysics astronomy and nuclear reactor technology. In this book are papers on the theory of dynamos, delivered at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge in September 1992, and these have been carefully brought together to form a unified presentation. Topics covered include: modelling of solar magnetic field generation, theoretical studies of the dynamics of the Earthts core, studies of the magnetic fields in galaxies, and papers on 0fast dynamost, the study of magnetic field regeneration in fluid of very high electrical conductivity. This volume represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date record of research into the theory of dynamos.
