BOOK
The second edition of Solar System Astrophysics: Planetary
Atmospheres and the Outer Solar System provides a timely update
of our knowledge of planetary atmospheres and the bodies of the
outer solar system and their analogs in other planetary systems
This volume begins with an expanded treatment of the physics
chemistry, and meteorology of the atmospheres of the Earth
Venus, and Mars, moving on to their magnetospheres and then to a
full discussion of the gas and ice giants and their properties
From here, attention switches to the small bodies of the solar
system, beginning with the natural satellites. Then comets
meteors, meteorites, and asteroids are discussed in order, and
the volume concludes with the origin and evolution of our solar
system. Finally, a fully revised section on extrasolar planetary
systems puts the development of our system in a wider and
increasingly well understood galactic context
All of the material is presented within a framework of historical
importance. This book and its sister volume, Solar System
Astrophysics: Background Science and the Inner Solar system, are
pedagogically well written, providing clearly illustrated
explanations, for example, of such topics as the numerical
integration of the Adams-Williamson equation, the equations of
state in planetary interiors and atmospheres, Maxwell's equations
as applied to planetary ionospheres and magnetospheres, and the
physics and chemistry of the Habitable Zone in planetary systems
Together, the volumes form a comprehensive text for any
university course that aims to deal with all aspects of solar and
extra-solar planetary systems. They will appeal separately to
the intellectually curious who would like to know just how far
our knowledge of the solar system has progressed in recent
years
