Sentences with phrase «as magnetic reconnection»

When the solar wind carries CMEs and other powerful bursts of radiation into a planet's magnetic field, it can cause the magnetic field on the back side to press together, a process known as magnetic reconnection.

Due to launch in late 2014, MMS will investigate how the sun and Earth's magnetic fields connect and disconnect, explosively transferring energy from one to the other — a fundamental physical process that occurs throughout the universe, known as magnetic reconnection.

Not exact matches

To see whether these are generated by the same process as happens on the sun — the breaking and reconnection of magnetic fields (pictured above)-- astronomers studied light from 100,000 stars using China's Guo Shouiing Telescope.

Sometimes, such as during an event called magnetic reconnection where the lines explosively collide, the particles are shot off their trajectories, as if they were fired from a cannon.

Eventually a process called magnetic reconnection destabilizes the fields, resulting in the explosive release of the stored energy we see as a flare.

Outer Places posted a story about PPPL research showing that plasma bubbles could cause a phenomenon known as fast magnetic reconnection.

Due to the huge amount of energy released in these superflares, it has been speculated if the underlying mechanism is the same as for solar flares, which are caused by magnetic reconnection in the solar corona.
