Prof. Andé Balogh is Distinguished Research Fellow and Emeritus Professor of Space Physics at Imperial College, London and the past Director of the International Space Science Institute of Bern, Switzerland. His main research interests are solar and heliospheric magnetic fields, solar activity phenomena and the nature of heliospheric turbulence. Prof. Balogh has been a Principal Investigator on the Ulysses and Cluster space missions and is author and co-author of over 500 scientific papers on solar physics, space research and planetary physics; as well as editor of ten books, including eight volumes in Springer's Space Sciences Series of ISSI. His recent research has covered the measurements of the Sun’s magnetic flux and its dependence on the solar activity cycle.
Dr. Hugh Hudson is a Senior Researcher in the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. His main research interests are high energy solar physics: solar X-rays, solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections, but he has carried out research and has published on all aspects of solar physics. He has been associated with several space-based solar observatories, in particular YOHKOH and RHESSI. His most recent research topics have included the investigation of the phenomena associated with the recent unusual solar activity cycle and the observation and interpretation of highly energetic phenomena in the solar atmosphere.
Prof. Kristóf Petrovay is Head of Department at the Department of Astronomy at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. His main research interests are solar physics, astrophysical turbulence and magnetohydrodynamics. He has published widely on the topics of solar dynamo theory, magneto-convection in the Sun, the theory of sunspots, turbulence and turbulent diffusion in the Sun and in a broad range of astrophysical plasmas, as well as the origin and evolu
Provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all phenomena associated with the solar activity cycle
Reviews all solar phenomena that varies with the traditional 11-year sunspot cycle, with the aim of identifying connections among the variable phenomena in the Sun, its atmosphere and beyond
Discusses underlying magnetic phenomena that drive all manifestations of solar activity
