Sentences with phrase «by nanoflares»

While the sounding rocket experiments observed the energy produced by these nanoflares, NuSTAR is also able to look for the X-ray signatures of energetic particles.

Not exact matches

Those speedy electrons also can be generated by scaled - down versions of flares called nanoflares, which are about a billion times less energetic than regular solar flares.

By going off all the time, nanoflares and nanojets could collectively release enough energy to give the corona some structure, simulations have shown.

But in this case, there was no observable solar flare, meaning the hot material was most likely produced by a series of solar flares so small that they were undetectable from Earth: nanoflares.

Jim Klimchuk, a solar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, explained that the new evidence supports a theory that the sun's corona is heated by tiny explosions called nanoflares.

The research evidence presented by the panel spotted this super hot solar material, called plasma, representative of a nanoflare.
