商品描述
Electrostatic phenomena, ubiquitous on Earth, also occur on many planetary bodies of the solar system. This book describes what is known about the electrostatic environment on and near the different planetary surfaces in the solar system based on experiments on Earth, as well as what is being learned from instrumentation on space exploration missions of the last few decades.
The book presents brief reviews of the basic principles in electrostatics as well as of the fundamentals of space radiation. It then describes the different planetary environments where electrostatic phenomena take place: atmospheres and planetary surfaces. The second edition includes two new chapters on Space Radiation Fundamentals and The Electrostatic Environment of Jupiter. Other updates include updated models of the lunar electrical environment, recent measurements from NASA's Curiosity rovers, recent discoveries of the properties of the Venusian atmosphere and new data on Mercury.
The key audience for this research and reference text includes researchers and students in the physical sciences.
Key Features:
- Brings together contemporary knowledge on the diverse electrostatic phenomena encountered across the solar system
- Describes the latest theories and measurements of the electrical properties of the planets
- Second edition includes new chapters on space radiation fundamentals, and the electrostatic environment of Jupiter
- Updates also include new models of the lunar electrical environment, recent measurements from NASA's Curiosity rovers, recent discoveries of the properties of the Venusian atmosphere and new data on Mercury
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書描述了根據地球上的實驗以及過去幾十年太空探索任務中的儀器所獲得的資料,關於太陽系中不同行星表面上和附近的靜電環境的已知情況。靜電現象在地球上無處不在,也發生在太陽系中許多行星上。
本書簡要介紹了靜電學的基本原理以及太空輻射的基礎知識。然後描述了不同行星環境中發生靜電現象的地方:大氣層和行星表面。第二版新增了兩個章節,分別是太空輻射基礎知識和木星的靜電環境。其他更新包括月球電環境的更新模型,NASA的好奇號探測器最近的測量結果,對金星大氣層特性的最新發現以及水星的新數據。
這本研究和參考書的主要讀者群包括物理科學的研究人員和學生。
主要特點:
- 匯集了關於太陽系中各種靜電現象的當代知識
- 描述了行星電性質的最新理論和測量結果
- 第二版新增了關於太空輻射基礎知識和木星靜電環境的章節
- 更新還包括月球電環境的新模型,NASA的好奇號探測器的最新測量結果,對金星大氣層特性的最新發現以及水星的新數據。
