Emphasizing microscopic physical and chemical processes in space, and their influence on the macroscopic structure of the interstellar medium of galaxies, this book includes the latest developments in an exciting area of molecular astrophysics. New space and ground-based observational opportunities have resulted in significant additions to our knowledge of the molecular universe in recent years. This comprehensive overview will be an invaluable reference source for undergraduates, graduates and researchers.
This book covers both the physics and the chemistry of the interstellar medium. Chapters on heating, cooling, and chemical processes provide the students with the necessary toolbox for the astrophysics and astrochemistry of the interstellar medium. This background is rounded off with chapters on the physics and chemistry of interstellar dust and large molecules.

Nova Science Publishers, 2009, 434 pages The solar wind is a stream of charged particles - a plasma - ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun. It consists mostly of electrons and protons with energies of about 1 keV. These particles are able to escape the sun's gravity, in part because of the high temperature of the corona, but also because of high kinetic energy that particles gain through a process that is not well-understood at this tim...
