Magnetic field lines, erupting from a dynamo inside the sun, sculpt the corona into a menagerie of shapes with different names: loops, streamers, empty holes and mass ejections that burp outwards.

The largest of these eruptions cause what is known as space weather — the radiation, energetic particles and magnetic field releases from the Sun powerful enough to cause severe effects in Earth's near environment, such as the disruption of communications, power lines and navigations systems.

The researchers found that applying a strong magnetic field to these ultracold atoms caused them to line up in an alternating pattern and lean away from each other.

And unlike many other subatomic particles, neutrinos have no charge, so they travel in a straight line from their source without being deflected by the magnetic fields around stars.

On the other hand, if the electrons are pulled apart, the magnetic force becomes dominant, but so weak in absolute terms that it's easily drowned out by ambient magnetic noise emanating from power lines, lab equipment and the earth's magnetic field.

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.

The energy input from Saturn's magnetospheric interaction shows a strong interaction with Titan's atmosphere and the corresponding induced magnetosphere with draped magnetic field lines.

As the name suggests, it shares many parallels with its terrestrial counterpart; it consists of cool plasma condensations falling from coronal heights towards the solar surface guided by magnetic field lines.

A popular theoretical model says that magnetic - field lines in the spinning disk are twisted tightly together and confine the fast - moving particles into narrow «jets» streaming from the poles of the disk.
