Sentences with phrase «more magnetic field lines»

«It apparently involves a lot more magnetic field lines,» Cirtain says.

Not exact matches

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.

Jets are narrow streams of gas that emergefrom the cores of some galaxies, travel at more than 99 percent thespeed of light, and penetrate as much as several million light - yearsinto intergalactic space before fanning out into broad, luminous lobes.How might a black - hole whirlpool generate such a pair of waterspouts?Swirling bundles of magnetic field lines, flinging particles outwardfrom the poles of the hole, provide a natural explanation.

Over time they build a more detailed magnetic map by learning to recognise variations in the strength and direction of the field lines, which are angled more steeply towards the poles and flatter at the magnetic equator.

In the case of the more distant quasars, several galaxies — not to mention intergalactic clouds — may lie in the line of the sight, making it difficult to measure the magnetic field of a single galaxy.

This is in line with more recent studies that suggest that misalignment of magnetic field and rotation axes or turbulence may enhance early disk formation, producing disks of 100 times the Earth - Sun radius or larger.

One leading scenario is that debris from the exploded star has fallen back onto magnetic field lines around the spinning neutron star, causing it to spin more slowly with time,» NASA said in a statement.

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.

Depiction of a simulated magnetosphere illustrates how Mercury's magnetic field lines (blue) are distorted by the Solar Wind (more).
