magnetic field/ A9630 Planets and satellitesThe predictions of a model of the magnetic field of rotating bodies are compared with the results of observations of the magnetic fields of the planets. Further observations of the Mars and the lumar magnetic fields are suggested....
The nighttime events are among initial results from the InSight lander, which also found hints that the red planet may host a global reservoir of liquid water deep below the surface.
Earth's magnetic field originates in the outer core and extends out into the magnetosphere — a region of space that helps protect Earth from space weather.
For nonmagnetized planets, mass loading of the ionospheric particles is very important. The new created ions are accelerated by the electric field related to the IMF, and thus they gain energy from the solar wind plasma. These ions form the boundary layer within the magnetic barrier. This mass...
Our sun also creates a vast magnetic field, and this can affect phenomena like solar flares. But magnetic fields that span the galaxy are almost too large to comprehend, and yet they likely have a role in the formation of stars and planets. ...
Every school kid knows that Earth has a magnetic field – it's what makes compasses align north-south and lets us navigate the oceans. It also protects the atmosphere, and thus life, from the sun's powerful wind.
the different rotation velocities in the liquid metal core of the planets and emphasize two types of convective flow: a turbulent one in the liquid metal core and a laminar one in the outside semiliquid zone, i.e., the asthenosphere, as the sources of the total magnetic field of the ...
Unlike Earth’s magnetic field, the fields around these icy planets are not symmetrical and don’t extend from each pole. These properties suggest that the fields aren’t generated in the planetary core but in a thin layer of conducting material. ...
In this study, CI is found to be seemingly more closely correlated with the small-scale magnetic elements of Component-II than with the large-scale magnetic field of sunspots, therefore the active corona may probably be mainly heated by the small-scale magnetic elements of Component-II. Sunspots...
The fluxgate magnetometer for the Arase (ERG) spacecraft mission was built to investigate particle acceleration processes in the inner magnetosphere. Precise measurements of the field intensity and direction are essential in studying the motion of particles, the properties of waves interacting with the ...
