Plasma Spectroscopy - Fujimoto, Takashi (, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan)

Plasma is ubiquitous: cooking gas flames, fluorescent lamps, the sun and stars, and so on. This book deals with the light which these plasmas emit: what is the colour and how strong is that light? Why is it so? The author provides a comprehensive theoretical framework from which a coherent account of these apparent phenomena can be made.
