Having combined our digital class notes for the solar system astrophysics course taught to astrophysics majors at the University of Calgary over the past three decades, we have now produced a text for use of third and fourth year physics, astronomy, and astrophysics students. Equations are developed from basic principles, and the fundamentals of spherical astronomy, celestial mechanics, geophysics, atmospheric and ionospheric chemistry, magnetospheres, and meteorology, among other area topics, are developed within successive chapters. There is a chapter on solar physics, which provides a basic understanding for subsequent work in stellar astrophysics. There is an extensive section on each of the planets as well as a full chapter on extrasolar planets, and what we think to be an adequate treatment of small bodies of the solar system and meteorites in three full chapters. The section on solar system origins treats stellar disks and star formation. The work is entitled "Solar System Astrophysics: A Text for the Science of Planetary Systems" and is scheduled for publication in the AAL series by Springer-Verlag in 2006.
