Sentences with phrase «energy galactic cosmic rays»

Voyager 1 observes low - energy galactic cosmic rays in a region depleted of heliospheric ions.

Numerical simulations performed by the GRAPES - 3 collaboration on this event indicate that the Earth's magnetic shield temporarily cracked due to the occurrence of magnetic reconnection, allowing the lower energy galactic cosmic ray particles to enter our atmosphere.

Not exact matches

This configuration — plus the particularly high turbulence in the galactic centre caused by the high concentration of stars — may be increasing the energy of the cosmic rays, says the team.

First detailed mapping of high - energy cosmic rays points to galactic black holes as their source

Some physicists think galactic cosmic rays — high - energy particles originating from faraway stars — might affect cloud formation.

«Our work demonstrates that the ultrahigh - energy cosmic rays escaping from active galactic nuclei and their environments such as galaxy clusters and groups can explain the ultrahigh - energy cosmic - ray spectrum and composition.

In 2007 astronomers working at Auger traced some of the ultrahigh - energy cosmic rays to nearby active galactic nuclei, the turbulent centers of violent galaxies.

If the mission succeeds, astronauts could spend several years potentially being bombarded with cosmic rays — high - energy particles launched across space by supernovae and other galactic explosions.

High - energy particles called galactic cosmic rays could be an energy source for life on other planets.

The radiation might not come from radioactive materials on the planet itself, but rather from galactic cosmic rays (GCRs)-- high - energy particles that careen through the universe after being flung out of a supernova.

Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above 6 × 1019 electron volts and the positions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) lying within ∼ 75 megaparsecs.

If future observations confirm that neutrinos are accelerated to high energies by activity at the galactic centre, the same source could explain high - energy cosmic rays — although it's still unclear exactly how the accelerator works.

The other energy sources (galactic cosmic rays, interplanetary dust) are also schematically shown.

The AMIGA project aims to extend the range of detection at Auger, to observe cosmic rays of lower energies, up to 1017 eV, and to study the transition from extragalactic (higher energy) to galactic cosmic rays (lower energy).

Martin Smith, We generally refer to the particles from the Sun as «solar particles,» or solar - event particles, while the flux of extremely high - energy particles from outsde the solar system are referred to as «galactic cosmic rays» (GCR).

Changes in the sun can of course affect the amount of energy received by the earth through changes in its output, variations in the intensity of UV - light, or perhaps even clouds through galactic cosmic rays.

Sun, clouds, oceans, biology, wind, snow, ice and land interacting as tremendous energies cascade through powerful mechanisms... along with cosmic influences, like cosmic rays that shower the Earth like a galactic gravestone falling on your toe.

7.4.5 Impact of Cosmic Rays on Aerosols and Clouds 43 44 High solar acti0vity leads to variations in the strength and three - dimensional structure of the heliosphere, 45 which reduces the flux of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) impinging upon the Earth's atmosphere by increasing 46 the deflection of low energCosmic Rays on Aerosols and Clouds 43 44 High solar acti0vity leads to variations in the strength and three - dimensional structure of the heliosphere, 45 which reduces the flux of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) impinging upon the Earth's atmosphere by increasing 46 the deflection of low energcosmic rays (GCR) impinging upon the Earth's atmosphere by increasing 46 the deflection of low energy GCR.

It's also changes in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, which cycles along with energy output and shields the earth from galactic cosmic rays.

Primary galactic cosmic rays enter the solar system from interstellar space, and are made up of protons with energies above 100 MeV, extending up to astronomically high energies.

The magnetic field strength deflects more or less galactic cosmic rays which are really very high energy charged particles and the interaction between charge and magnetic field strength deflects them just like the magnets on the yoke of a cathode ray tube deflects an electron beam.
