This timely volume provides the first comprehensive review and synthesis of the
current understanding of the origin, evolution, and effects of magnetic fields in the Sun
and other cool stars. Magnetic activity results in a wealth of phenomena – including
starspots, nonradiatively heated outer atmospheres, activity cycles, deceleration of
rotation rates, and even, in close binaries, stellar cannibalism– all of which are covered
clearly and authoritatively.
This book brings together for the first time recent results in solar studies, with
their wealth of observational detail, and stellar studies, which allow the study of how
activity evolves and depends on the mass, age, and chemical composition of stars.
The result is an illuminating and comprehensive view of stellar magnetic activity. Ob-
servational data are interpreted by using the latest models in convective simulations,
dynamo theory, outer-atmospheric heating, stellar winds, and angular momentum
loss.
Researchers are provided with a state-of-the-art review of this exciting field, and
the pedagogical style and introductory material make the book an ideal and welcome
introduction for graduate students.
