教学目标
Course Objectives
本课程讲授太阳系与临近星际空间中的物理现象与原理。结合理论描述和观测事实,讲授日球
层与星际空间中各尺度的物理过程以及它们之间的相互作用,为行星科学、空间物理的研究提
供必要的基础知识,本课程将引导学生讨论研究空间物理前沿课题。
This course discusses physical phenomena and principles in solar system and
neighbouring interstellar space. Combining theoretical description and
observational data the course will discuss multiscale physical processes and
their interactions in heliosphere and interstellar space, preparing the students
for planetary and space physics research. The course will guide the students
discussing frontier research topics in space physics and planetary science.
