Heating of electrons parallel to the magnetic field in conjunction with magnetic reconnection is of especial interest.

Not exact matches

According to the new work, Mars» magnetotail is formed when magnetic fields carried by the solar wind join with the magnetic fields embedded in the Martian surface in a process called magnetic reconnection.

According to him, some storms are most troublesome because of a process called magnetic reconnection, in which the magnetic field of the CME interacts directly with the Earth's magnetic field.

When magnetic reconnection occurs between two clouds of plasma that have the same density, the exhaust flow is wildly unstable — flapping about like a garden hose with too much water pressure.

A recent study used observations of magnetic reconnection from NASA's ARTEMIS — Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun — to show that in the long tail of the nighttime magnetosphere, extending away from Earth and the sun, most of the energy is convertereconnection from NASA's ARTEMIS — Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun — to show that in the long tail of the nighttime magnetosphere, extending away from Earth and the sun, most of the energy is converteReconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun — to show that in the long tail of the nighttime magnetosphere, extending away from Earth and the sun, most of the energy is converted into heat.

«We believe that this is an important piece of the puzzle for understanding how magnetic reconnection works, how charged particles are accelerated, and how particles from different regions can be mixed with each other,» says Daniel Graham.

But sometimes, the sun's magnetic field lines can directly link up with Earth's in a process called magnetic reconnection, which opens up cracks in the magnetosphere.

The mass loading required in this model can be achieved through interaction with the interstellar medium (ISM), the sputtering of the dwarf atmosphere by auroral currents, a volcanically active orbiting planet or magnetic reconnection in the photosphere.

When a current runs through the magnetic field lines, they snap shut and pinch off, a process called magnetic reconnection, essentially forming a magnetic «balloon» filled with the current needed to fuel fusion while also confining the plasma.

Alternatively to solar wind driven reconnection, the viscous interaction of the solar wind with the planetary magnetosphere, which involves magnetic reconnection on a small scale (Delamere & Bagenal 2013), influences Saturn's magnetopause dynamics.

The coronal magnetic reconnection hypothesis can explain the observations via the notion that superflares and solar flares share the same origin and that the two activity distributions therefore are within similar range, but that superflares mainly take place on stars with activity levels larger than the Sun.

The investigation showed that reconnection in a prototypical reconnection layer converts about 50 percent of the magnetic energy, with one - third of the conversion heating the electrons and two - thirds accelerating the ion in the plasma.

The successful applicant will work with Prof. Dr. Jörg Büchner and Dr. Patricio Muñoz on kinetic simulations of electron acceleration by magnetic reconnection in stellar atmospheres to be verified by observed solar type - III radio bursts.

Three - dimensional simulations have reinforced this theory, showing fan - shaped jets being formed during shearing reconnection between horizontal magnetic fields and a vertical current sheet, with the base of the jets corresponding to the location of magnetic reconnection [6].

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.

In the Andean cosmo - vision, Moray is considered as a magnetic center of reconnection with Mother Earth or Pachamama.

Heliophysics encompasses cosmic rays and particle acceleration, space weather and radiation, dust and magnetic reconnection, solar activity and stellar cycles, aeronomy and space plasmas, magnetic fields and global change, and the interactions of the solar system with our galaxy.»
