Gas dynamical effects govern the physics of many objects in the Universe ranging in scale from the intergalactic to the circumstellar. This book gives an up-to-date survey of the latest findings and theories from acknowledged experts in this particular field of astrophysics. Cosmical Gas Dynamics includes papers on the following subjects: -- shock ...
The 57 papers presented in this issue summarize our knowledge of the physics of the solar corona from both the theoretical and experimental points of view. The first section reviews the current status of coronal physics. The second part consists of a discussion on the development of diagnostic methods to measure the plasma conditions in the corona ...
The nonprofit Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) publishes the Conference Series Proceedings as part of its century-old mission to provide resources for astronomers and advance the science of astronomy. Since 1988, the ASP has published the proceedings of astronomical workshops, meetings, colloquia, and symposia to meet the community's ...
The International Heliospheric Study is a program sponsored by COSPAR that exploits the unique scientific opportunities presented by the continuing operation of the four Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft which are all in or beyond the outer solar system. The heliosphere is the region of space surrounding the sun which is dominated by the solar wind ...

Scientific research is a constant confrontation between observational results and theoretical models. Inevitably, the observations and the theory tend to get out of step. A new observatory, improved instrumentation, or the opening up of a new waveband often results in the discovery of an unexpected new phenomenon or new insight into an old problem ...
This was the first COSPAR symposium devoted to Relativistic Gravitation. Activity in testing Relativistic Gravitation has increased considerably in the past two decades with the rapid growth of technical capabilities. The development of space-worthy laser, gyroscopes, atomic clocks, cryogenic equipment and low noise microwave receivers combined ...
