In 2015, NASA launched the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft to study the mysterious interactions between Earth and the solar wind when our planet's magnetic field lines occasionally break and reconnect, which also affects auroral activity.
«The hyperbolic flux tube breaks the filament's magnetic field lines and reconnects them with those of the ambient Sun, so that the filament's magnetic energy is stripped away,» Chintzoglou said.
CMEs occur when magnetic field lines at the visible surface of the Sun become tangled and break, releasing large quantities of electrically charged particles into space.
If the cyclotron line is from circling electrons, in contrast, then the magnetic field strength around the neutron star would not be exceptionally strong, and thus the field is probably not the reason these stars break the Eddington limit.
«If the cyclotron line is from protons, then we know that these magnetic fields around the neutron star are extremely strong and may in fact be helping to breaking the Eddington limit,» says Brightman.
They emerge where dense bundles of magnetic field lines from the sun's interior break through the surface.
As the magnetic field lines pushed close together, the long lines broke apart and reformed like a single stretched rubber band, forming a slingshot that propels the plasma and releases the energy into the plasma, accelerating the plasma and heating it.
