Modern Solar Physics

Abstract:

The Sun plays an important role in astrophysics, being the only star where relevant physical processes can be observed directly and with great detail. This makes the Sun the Rosetta stone for understanding stars. Solar magnetic activity interacts vigorously with the heliosphere and impacts the near-Earth space environment, making the Sun the most consequential object in space to influence human civilization. This series of lectures introduces current topics in solar research, ranging from instrumentation and observations to theory.

Topics include: "Solar Astrophysics with Molecules", "Modern Solar Observing Techniques", "What is New About Sunspots and the Solar Magnetic Field", "Probing the Solar Atmosphere with Inversion Methods, and "Modern Trends in Helio- and Asteroseismology"
