Introduction to the Physics of Highly Charged Ions

by Heinrich F. Beyer, Viateheslav P. Shevelko

Overview

Emphasizing a physical understanding with many illustrations, Introduction to the Physics of Highly Charged Ions covers the major areas of x-ray radiation and elementary atomic processes occurring with highly charged ions in hot laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Topics include light and ion sources, spectroscopy, atomic structure, magnetic and

Editorial Reviews

"The authors are well-known experts in the physics of highly charged ions. This book provides a lucid introduction to the field including a profound review of recent experimental and theoretical results. This makes it suitable for a broad audience and also valuable for researchers working on these topics."

- Professor V.M. Shabaev

From the Publisher

..a big and beautifully produced volume that not only whets a reader's appetite for volumes 2 and 3, but also stands as a fine tribute to Forbes's scholarship.

Science

We are left in a state of high anticipation for the next volume in this important series.

Nature

This is an absolute delight. You feel as though you are privy to the musings of a pioneering astronomer and to the daily gossip at one of the world's premier observatories.

New Scientist

The letters will be of interest to all who care for the history of astronomy, and certainly no astronomical library would be complete without a copy... The editors and publishers of this volume have rendered a truly great service to historians and are to be warmly congratulated.

British Astro. Association

This is a superb, scholarly book and a major addition to the collection of primary references required by the astronomical historian. It is beautifully produced, skillfully annotated, well indexed, and contains useful lossaries of astronomical terms and biographical details.

Observatory

Insight into the life of the first Astronomer Royal (appointed in 1675 by Charles II, who authorized him to construct an observatory) and into the early development of telescopic measurement would in itself justify publication of Flamsteed's voluminous correspondence; further justification lies in the continuing debate concerning the interaction between Flamsteed, on the one hand, and Newton and Halley, on the other. Newton's correspondence has been published in full; this treatment of Flamsteed's correspondence allows for a balanced review of the protagonists. The letters were gathered from scattered sources by Forbes, and the project was completed by his wife and others after Forbes died. Approximately one-third of the 450 letters reproduced here have already appeared in print, but all transcriptions were made from the original documents. The number of projected volumes is not stated.
