In this way, nanoflares may also be the missing link responsible for untangling the chaotic mess of
magnetic field lines on the surface of the Sun, explaining why the corona has neat loops and smooth fans of magnetic fields.
The researchers used these to estimate
the magnetic field lines on 1 August over the sun's entire surface and to map all solar events onto these lines.
These simulations provide new and novel insight regarding the influence of chaotic
magnetic field lines on the spontaneous development of current sheets, and hence potential places of particle acceleration.
Not exact matches
On Earth, the brightest auroras (the high - altitude glows often called the northern and southern lights) are generated when electrons in outer space near Earth are accelerated by large electrical potentials, or voltages, along the
lines in our planet's
magnetic field and slam into gas molecules in the upper atmosphere above polar regions.
This produces «
magnetic field lines with one foot
on the sun and one
on Earth,» says Burch.
Chintzoglou and his colleagues developed a model that identified locations
on the Sun where the
magnetic field was especially compressed, since rapid releases of energy — such as those they observed when the filament collapsed — are more likely to occur where
magnetic field lines are strongly distorted.
The accretion disk is made of chargedparticles, and when the particles move, they generate a
magnetic field.From then
on, the
field lines and the gas tend to stick together andmove together.
Magnetic field lines that are closed
on the sun are shown in blue, while those that are open are shown in red and green.
«We found that the energetic plasma signatures occur
on high - latitude
magnetic field lines that have been «closed» by the process of
magnetic reconnection, which then causes the plasma to become relatively hot,» says Dr Fear.
(Left) 3D diagram of the
magnetic wormhole, showing how the
magnetic field lines (in red) leaving a magnet
on the right pass through the wormhole.
On Earth, those particles stream along
magnetic field lines to form thin layers in the atmosphere.
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.
«This suggests that the
magnetic field of TX Cam follows the
lines of longitude
on the star,» says Kemball.
Using data from the CanariCam infrared camera
on the Gran Telescopio Canarias, astronomers have created a high resolution map of the
magnetic field lines...
Between pairs of opposite polarity,
magnetic field connections exist, represented here by
lines based
on computer calculations.
The dynamics of solar processes can be captured
on shorter time scales, and the improved light - gathering capacity of the new telescopes allows us to extract more information from spectral
lines with higher fidelity and accuracy, especially with respect to
magnetic field measurements.
They discovered that the lobe, an area of the magnetosphere which is usually filled with cold, unenergetic, plasma, does in some cases fill up with hot plasma when
magnetic reconnection occurs
on the night side of the Earth, thus closing the
field lines and trapping the plasma within.
The lone active region visible
on the sun put
on a fine display with its tangled
magnetic field lines swaying and twisting above it (Apr.24 - 26, 2018) when viewed in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light.
Samsung's patent FIG. 3 illustrates a transmitter and a receiver operating under the linear polarization mode; FIG. 4 depicts how the linearly polarized
magnetic field oscillates with time
on a straight
line but at different orientations depending
on the location in the space around the resonator.
