Flare Physics in Solar Activity Maximum 22 : Proceedings of the International SOLAR-A Science Meeting Held at Tokyo, Japan, 23-26 October 1990, Dedicated to the Memory of the Late Professor K. Tanaka

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.
