Sentences with phrase «of magnetic field lines»

They emerge where dense bundles of magnetic field lines from the sun's interior break through the surface.

Using data from the CanariCam infrared camera on the Gran Telescopio Canarias, astronomers have created a high resolution map of the magnetic field lines in gas and dust swirling around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

A new high - resolution map of the magnetic field lines in gas and dust swirling around Milky Way's central black.

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.

Astronomers have long seen loops of magnetic field lines extend from within the sun out into the corona.

You can think of the magnetic field lines as wires in a titanic electric circuit, with the black hole as the generator, or you can think of them as elastic bands that literally fling electrically charged particles into distant space as they themselves are whipped around by the rotating black hole.

«We computed the Sun's magnetic environment by tracing millions of magnetic field lines and looking at how neighboring field lines connect and diverge,» said Antonia Savcheva, an astrophysicist at the Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and co-author of the paper.

The magnetic sense in migratory birds has been studied in considerable detail: unlike a boy scout's compass, which shows the compass direction, a bird's compass recognizes the inclination of the magnetic field lines relative to Earth's surface.

Both satellite and radar will investigate the phenomena that cause the aurora borealis, but from different ends of the magnetic field lines that lead from space to the Earth's poles.

The VLBA images also showed a remarkably ordered structure of the magnetic field lines.

The MRX device produces laboratory studies of magnetic reconnection, the convergence and violent separation of magnetic field lines in plasma, the state of matter that consists of free electrons and atomic nuclei.

The field - aligned current system includes two shells of magnetic field lines connecting the magnetosphere to the ionosphere.

Swirling bundles of magnetic field lines, flinging particles outward from the poles of the hole, provide a natural explanation.

If there is a strong magnetic field in the accretion disk, the magnetic field lines can be distorted into a tangled, narrow mess of magnetic field lines that run toward the poles perpendicular to the accretion disk.
