Dust-plasma interactions are of interest not only to space scientists and astrophysicists but lately also to technologists working in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This book shows the wide scope of this new field, which is presently undergoing rapid development. There are discussions not only of the physics and dynamics of charged dust in various plasma environments, but also of collective processes in dusty plasmas (new wave modes and instabilities). In addition, the book presents the fascinating new development of the crystallization of dusty plasmas in the laboratory.

Paperback. Solar Physics in the 1990s is a collection of papers which reviews the results of recent solar activity research, including observations, theory and modelling, and presents formally plans for new programs of research during the next solar maximum and beyond. Topics covered include manifestations of solar activity in the solar interior, photosphere, chromosphere and corona, the rationale for future satellite experiments, and plans for co-ordinated space- and ground-based observing campaigns at X-ray, optical and radiowavelengths. Also included are papers from a special session on hard X-ray spectrometer calibrations and the use of hard X-ray spectrometers to study the superhot component of solar flares.

Paperback. Two years after comet Halley was intensely studied during its passage through the inner solar system a new, more detailed picture of comets is emerging through the wealth of data. This volume records the continuing process of scientific discussion regarding the mystery of comets. Approximately one third of the papers are dedicated to various aspects of the nucleus which is in the centre of the cometary phenomenon, but which is hidden from earthly observations. The remaining sections discuss cometary aeronomy, gas and dust emissions and plasma effects associated with the interactions with cometary environs. The authors represent a large number of countries and organizations, most of them having played prominent roles in space missions to comets Halley and Giacobini-Zinner.

Increased funding for ground-based research by national space agencies coupled with the development of unique hardware for experimentation in space has led to a tremendous increase in research into the behaviour of materials under microgravity conditions. The thirty-three papers in this volume highlight research areas of particular scientific and industrial interest and discuss specific ground-based projects where the results of laboratory research are applied by industry to the development of flight hardware.
