A study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters reveals new insights into the triggering mechanisms of solar ...

In a new study, Iowa physicists propose that interplanetary magnetic field rotation could help explain why Mars became the ...

The relative motion of such waves and injected particles along magnetic field lines induces ... conversion into particle energy by magnetic reconnection. Radial diffusion may also help to supply ...

Magnetic reconnection occurs when anti-parallel magnetic fields—in this case found in solar flares—collide, break, and realign. The process produces a high-energy explosion that flings ...
