Overview

This volume contains the reviews and contributions on solar composition and its evolution as presented at an ISSI Workshop. Topics include the structures that make up its atmosphere, and solar-wind and other, more energetic, particle streams, giving clues for understanding mass-transport, separation and heating mechanisms in particular. The book is intended to provide both active researchers and advanced graduate students with a comprehensive overview on solar composition.
