This discussion provides essential book recommendations for studying Solar Physics, particularly for a research project on Space Weather. Key titles include "Foukal Solar Astrophysics," "Hanslmeier The Sun and Space Weather," and "Moldwin Introduction to Space Weather." Additional resources include "Khazanov Space Weather Fundamentals" and "Cowling Magnetohydrodynamics." For a broader understanding, "Eddy The Sun, the Earth and Near-Earth Space" and "Strong et al. Understanding Space Weather" are also highlighted, with links to relevant papers.
PREREQUISITESStudents, researchers, and educators in the fields of astrophysics, space science, and meteorology who are seeking to deepen their understanding of Solar Physics and Space Weather.
