Our understanding of origin and evolution of the magnetic fields in M dwarfs is based on models of the rotationally driven convective dynamos. Modern observations provide two important constraints for ...
“Electron-only” reconnection, which is both uncoupled from the surrounding ions and much faster than standard reconnection, is arguably ubiquitous in turbulence. One critical step to understanding the ...
The solar atmosphere is a turbulent and magnetized environment, with the release of magnetic energy readily manifesting as ...
A fleet of NASA and European Space Agency space-weather probes recently observed an immense jet of electrically charged particles in the solar wind between the sun and Earth. The jet, at least 200 ...
Earth’s magnetic field absorbed a glancing punch from the Sun this past weekend, registering a planetary K-index of 4 on both days. That put geomagnetic activity one notch below the Kp 5 threshold ...
Astronomers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) and CSIRO have just observed bizarre, never-seen-before behaviour from a 'radio-loud' magnetar--a rare type of ...
