No references found | Alfven waves move along the sun's magnetic fields like "waves traveling along a string," Jess explains. Each bright spot represents a place where the sun's magnetic field lines form clusters that guide so-called Alfven waves into the atmosphere, according to the researchers. The additional studies of Alfven wave dynamics, the effect of energetic particles or collisionless reconnection and proton and alpha particle heating will also impact space and astrophysical plasma physics. |
