Solar System Astrophysics
Background Science and the Inner Solar System
Solar System Astrophysics cover the field of solar system astrophysics beginning with basic tools of
spherical astronomy, coordinate frames, and celestial mechanics. Historical introductions precede the
development and discussion in most chapters.
After a basic treatment of the two- and restricted three-body system motions, perturbations are dis¬
cussed, followed by the Earth's gravitational potential field and its effect on satellite orbits. This is
followed by a chapter on the observable properties of the Sun and then by analysis of the
Earth-Moon system and the interior planets.The atmospheres chapters include detailed discussions
of circulation, applicable also to the subsequent discussion of the gas giants. A comparative planetary
approach is also given to discussions of the atmospheric and ionospheric chemistry, magnetospheres,
and crustal properties.
The giant planets are discussed together, and the thermal excess of three of them highlighted. This is
followed by chapters on moons and rings, mainly in the context of dynamical stability, comets and
meteors, meteorites and asteroids, and concludes with an extensive discussion of
extrasolar
planets.

Solar System Astrophysics have been field-tested by students for many years. Eugene
F. Milone and William J.F.Wilson have written an entirely unique book that presents an up-to-date
overview on all essential topics based on extensive experience in the classroom. |

Eugene F.Milone and William J.F.Wilson
Solar System Astrophysics
Background Science and the Inner Solar System
Solar System Astrophysics cover the field of solar system astrophysics beginning with basic tools of
spherical astronomy, coordinate frames, and celestial mechanics. Historical introductions precede the
development and discussion in most chapters.
After a basic treatment of the two- and restricted three-body system motions, perturbations are dis¬
cussed, followed by the Earth's gravitational potential field and its effect on satellite orbits. This is
followed by a chapter on the observable properties of the Sun and then by analysis of the
Earth-Moon system and the interior planets.The atmospheres chapters include detailed discussions
of circulation, applicable also to the subsequent discussion of the gas giants. A comparative planetary
approach is also given to discussions of the atmospheric and ionospheric chemistry, magnetospheres,
and crustal properties.
The giant planets are discussed together, and the thermal excess of three of them highlighted. This is
followed by chapters on moons and rings, mainly in the context of dynamical stability, comets and
meteors, meteorites and asteroids, and concludes with an extensive discussion of
extrasolar
planets.
The contents

Solar System Astrophysics have been field-tested by students for many years. Eugene
F. Milone and William J.F.Wilson have written an entirely unique book that presents an up-to-date
overview on all essential topics based on extensive experience in the classroom. |
