Aurorae Their Characters and Spectra

Book Summary:

 

Encyclopedia of Physics of the Solar Corona An Introduction covers the physics of the solar corona. An aurora is a natural light display in the sky predominantly seen in the high latitude regions. Auroras are caused by charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, entering the atmosphere from above causing ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents, and consequent optical emissions. Incident protons can also produce emissions as hydrogen atoms after gaining an electron from the atmosphere. The volume “Aurorae Their Characters and Spectra” is divided into seven chapters.
