Overview
The Sun: A Guide to Stellar Physics illustrates the significance of the Sun in understanding stars through an examination of the discoveries and insights gained from solar physics research. Ranging from theories, to modeling and numerical simulations, to instrumentation and data processing, the book provides an overview of what we currently understand and how the Sun can be a model for gaining further insight in stellar physics. Providing both updates on recent developments in solar physics and applications to stellar physics, The Sun: A Guide to Stellar Physics strengthens the solar-stellar connection and provides a summary of what we know about the Sun for the stellar, space, and geophysics communities. Applies observations, theoretical understanding, modeling capabilities and physical processes first revealed by the Sun to the study of stellar physics Illustrates how studies of "proxima solaris" have led to progress in space science, stellar physics, and other related fields Uses characteristics of solar phenomena as a guide for understanding the physics of stars
