Magnetohydrodynamics in Binary Stars: Astrophysics and Space Science Library, cartea 456

Autor C. G. Campbell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 ian 2019
Magnetism in binary stars is an area of central importance in stellar astrophysics. The second edition of "Magnetohydrodynamics in Binary Stars" is a major revision of the first edition. The material has been updated and extended, including additional chapters on the origins of the stellar magnetic fields and accretion disc magnetic winds. A comprehensive account is given of the subject, from the early work up to the latest results. The unifying theme remains the redistribution of angular momentum by magnetic stresses. This occurs in a wide variety of ways, including magnetic stellar and orbital coupling, magnetic channelling of accretion streams, magnetic stellar coupling to accretion discs, dynamo field coupling in discs, and magnetic stellar and disc winds. The associated stellar spin and orbital evolution problems, including stability, are also considered. Although the main focus is on binary stars, much of the work on accretion discs and wind flows has more general astrophysical relevance. Convenient formulae are included that can be compared to observations, making the book useful to observers as well as theorists, and there are extensive reference lists. The material is mainly aimed at research workers, but parts of the text could be useful for postgraduate courses in magnetic stellar astrophysics topics.

Recenzii

“It is … a book that rewards patient and detailed reading, and which provides an excellent theoretical background to the role of magnetic fields in close-binary systems.” (Moira Jardine, The Observatory, Vol. 140 (1275), April, 2020)

Notă biografică

Chris Campbell was formerly a Reader in Astrophysics at Newcastle University.He has published papers in leading astrophysical journals in the areas of tidal theory, stellar oscillations and a range of magnetohydrodynamics problems, particularly related to accretion processes, associated outflows and close binary stars.

Caracteristici

Presents a thoroughly revised edition of a well-cited text which centers on magnetohydrodynamics problems associated with accretion processes in binary star systems Adds new work on magnetic coupling in the AM Herculis systems, revised chapters on disruption of the accretion disc by stellar magnetic fields and a new chapter on magnetic disc winds and their stability Contains a significant amount of material which is also relevant to more general accretion processes and related flows
