  • Eugene N. Parker (born June 10, 1927) is an American solar astrophysicist who received his B.S. degree in physics from Michigan State University in 1948 and Ph.D. , from Caltech in 1951. He is most famous for developing, in the mid 1950s, the theory of the supersonic solar wind, and for predicting the Parker spiral shape of the solar magnetic field in the outer solar system. In 1987, Parker proposed that the solar corona might be heated by myriad tiny "micro-flares", miniature solar flares that occur all over the surface of the Sun. In 1967, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. As of early 2005, he was still engaged in active research at the University of Chicago. His daughter and son-in-law are both faculty members at Michigan State University. Parker spent four years at the University of Utah and, since 1955, has been at the University of Chicago, where he has held positions in the physics department, the astronomy and astrophysics department, and the Enrico Fermi Institute. He is the leading authority on the solar wind and the effects of magnetic fields in the heliosphere. His work has greatly increased understanding of the solar corona, the solar wind, the magnetic fields of both earth and sun, and their complex electromagnetic interactions. The theoretical models which he developed in part by looking at comet tails have in recent years been confirmed by spacecraft. His books, especially Cosmical Magnetic Fields, have educated generations of investigators. His most recent book includes the effects of magnetic fields of planets, stars, and galaxies on X-ray emissions. He also wrote about the dangers of space radiation for future interplanetary missions.

Seine Forschungen betreffen vor allem den Sonnenwind, die Magnetfelder von Erde und Sonne und deren komplexen Wechselwirkungen. 1956 war er einer der Entwickler der Rekonnexions-Theorie, 1959 hat er die englische Bezeichnung solar wind eingeführt und eine magnetohydrodynamische Theorie zur Beschreibung des Sonnenwindes vorgeschlagen.
  • Eugene N. Parker on yhdysvaltalainen astrofyysikko. Hän on valmistunut Michigan State Universitystä vuonna 1948 ja California Institute of Technologysta 1951. Parker otti 1950-luvulla aihetta tutkiessaan ensimmäistä kertaa käyttöön termin "aurinkotuuli". Hänen luomansa teoria tunnetaan nimellä moderni "aurinkotuuliteoria". Parker opetti neljän vuoden ajan Utahin yliopistolla ja on työskennellyt vuodesta 1955 Chicagon yliopistolla. Hän on ollut Kansallisen tiedeakatemian jäsen vuodesta 1967. Hänelle on myönnetty lukuisia tähtitieteen alan merkittävimpiä palkintoja, kuten National Medal of Science, Bruce-mitali, Royal Astronomical Societyn kultamitali ja Kyoto-palkinto.
  • Eugene Newman Parker (né le 10 juin 1927) est un astrophysicien américain spécialiste du soleil. Après avoir étudié à l'Université de l'État du Michigan et au Caltech, il développe au milieu des années 1950 la théorie du vent solaire et prédit la forme spiralée du champ magnétique à l'intérieur du système solaire. En 1987, il propose que la couronne solaire est constituée d'une multitude de minuscules éruptions solaire couvrant la totalité de la surface du soleil.
  • È ricordato per aver sviluppato, negli anni '50, la teoria sul vento solare e per aver predetto l'esistenza, di quella che poi prenderà il suo nome, di spirale di Parker. Importanti sono gli studi condotti sull'eliosfera.
