An outgrowth of the first Asia-Pacific Regional School on the International Heliophysical Year (IHY), this volume contains a collection of review articles describing the universal physical processes in the heliospace influenced by solar electromagnetic and mass emissions. The Sun affects the heliosphere in theshort term (space weather) and in the long term (space climate) through numerous physical processes that exhibit similarities in various spatial domains ofthe heliosphere. The articles take into account various aspects of the Sun-heliosphere connection under a systems approach. This volume will serve as a ready reference work for research in the emerging field of heliophysics, which describes the physical processes taking place in the physical space controlled by the Sun out to the local interstellar medium. Serves as reference work to research in the emerging field of heliophysics INDICE: Preface.- Sun in the universe: some notes.- Solar Interior.- Dynamo processes.- Large-scale solar eruptions.- Solar energetic particles - acceleration and observation.- Solar wind and transients.- Reconnection processes inthe Sun and heliosphere.- MHD fluctuations in the heliosphere.- Radio emission processes.- Elemental and charge state composition in the heliosphere.- Planetary atmospheres.- Planetary ionospheres.- Planetary Magnetospheres.- Space Weather.- Sun – Climate Coupling on Sub-decadal to Multi-millennial Time Scales.
