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
