Provides a broad overview of magnetic fields in our solar system and the modern methods employed to unravel their complexity
Results from a research program involving four leading planetary science institutes
Contributing scientists cover the whole science field with all its ramifications ranging from planetology, geophysics, numerical analysis to mathematics
Takes a synergistic interdisciplinary approach that combines newly developed tools for data acquisition and analysis, computer simulations of planetary interiors and dynamos, models of solar wind interaction, measurement of ancient terrestrial rocks and meteorites, and laboratory investigations
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book summarizes work done in the programme 'PlanetMag', sponsored by a German research foundation. It discusses observation and modelling of magnetic fields, or processes strongly influenced by magnetism, within different environments in the Solar System. . I would recommend this book as a well-referenced and up-to-date summary of research related to planetary magnetism and magnetosphers." (Nick Achilleos, The Observatory, Vol. 139 (1268), February, 2019)
