Sentences with phrase «strong magnetic fields like»

The observations by the Breakthrough Listen team at UC Berkeley using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia show that the fast radio bursts from this object, called FRB 121102, are nearly 100 percent linearly polarized, an indication that the source of the bursts is embedded in strong magnetic fields like those around a massive black hole.

Thus, the atmosphere could have eroded too soon, even if the exoplanet was protected by a strong magnetic field like the magnetosphere surrounding Earth, Dong said.

A strong magnetic field like that of V374 Peg can trap a CME at the Astrospheric Current Sheet, with the deflection depending primarily on the CME mass but also on its speed.

C. Carreau, ASPERA - 4 & MAG teams, Venus Express, ESA Annotated image illustrating loss of hydrogen through plasma wake Venus may have lost oceans of water due to a runaway greenhouse effect which evaporated water into the upper atmosphere, where ultraviolet light dissociated water into ionized atomic hydrogen and oxygen (some later incorporated into carbon dioxide) that were blown away by the Solar wind due to the lack of a strong magnetic field like the Earth's (more).

Not exact matches

Because of Saturn's strong magnetic field, the poles are home to beautiful Aurorae, just like those of Earth and Jupiter.

Later on in life, it looks like the magnetars we see in our galaxy, which have extremely strong magnetic fields but rotate more like ordinary pulsars.»

But how they come together is of interest as the particles first gather into a disorganized aggregated cluster and then into a crystal - like regimen as the magnetic field becomes stronger.

«Instead of a prolonged, comet - like tail, this rough bubble - shape of the heliosphere is due to the strong interstellar magnetic field — much stronger than what was anticipated in the past — combined with the fact that the ratio between particle pressure and magnetic pressure inside the heliosheath is high,» said Kostas Dialynas, a space scientist at the Academy of Athens in Greece and lead author on the study.

Just like magnetars, the silent pulsars rotate rather slowly, and they seem to have strong magnetic fields too.

An intriguing aspect of axion - like particles is their ability to convert into gamma rays and back again when they interact with strong magnetic fields.

It also has to use very strong microwaves and magnetic fields to reach the sample, but these processes are invasive and can affect delicate bio-samples, just like the microwave in your kitchen, particularly when trying to see the molecular structure of liquids.»

Arc - like solar prominences like these form when hot gaseous matter erupts from the sun, then is drawn back to the solar surface by strong magnetic fields.

These proposed devices, like their predecessors, aim to cancel gravity by wrapping an object in superconducting coils to generate a magnetic field so strong that it warps space.

In the 1930s, physicists suggested that a strong magnetic field can polarise light, like glare bouncing off a window — provided there are particles to nudge it.

The magnetic poles on a neutron star act like fountains, an escape valve for charged particles that get trapped in the star's enormously strong magnetic field.

The influence from direct radiation would be similar, but the planets with a strong magnetic field would react much differently to charge particles than a planet like Mars with a weaker field.

A second possibility is that, as the dying star spins, its strong magnetic fields are wound up into complex shapes like spaghetti in an eggbeater.

The influence from direct radiation would be similar, but the planets with a strong magnetic field would react much differently to charge particles than a planet like Mars with a weaker field.
