The book reviews the knowledge obtained from ground-based
and space-borne solar flare research thus at the same time
preparing for the forthcoming mission of the satellite Solar
A which will be launched in 1991. Accordinglyone section is
devoted to experiments on Solar A. The rest review both
theory and observational facts to give a physically
realistic picture of flares, including problems of magnetic
flux emergence, high energy particles in flares, heating and
flows in flares, and further problems of solar activity.
The book gives a survey of today's knowledge of the physical processes of solar flares. At the same time experiments on the satellite Solar A, which will be launched in 1991, are discussed. The book addresses astro- physicists and geophysicists.
