Abstract:
The Astronomical Society of India (ASI) is pleased to publish the second volume of
its Conference Series, which contains the Proceedings of the first Asia-Pacific Solar
Physics Meeting, held at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, India, from
21st to 24th March 2011. The main aim of this meeting was to foster co-operation
and collaboration in solar physics within the Asia-Pacific region. This initiative to
establish an equivalent of the American Astronomical Society Solar Physics Division
and the European Solar Physics Division is a welcome one. This volume edited by
Arnab Rai Choudhuri and Dipankar Banerjee contains contributions by many eminent
solar physicists covering a wide range of solar physics research, and will be valuable
for those working in the field.
