We present the results of a detailed numerical simulation of the circumstellar environment around three exoplanet-hosting stars. A state-of-the-art global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is considered ...

Coronal loops, well-defined hot strands of plasma that arch out into the sun’s atmosphere, are iconic to the sun’s imagery. But many of the supposed coronal loops we see might not be there at all.

A METHOD of determining the large scale structure of the coronal and interplanetary magnetic fields has recently been described 1. The model originated as an attempt to explain the observed large ...

A solar researcher has spotted a hitherto-unreported feature of the Sun's atmosphere, giving us an insight into the star's magnetic structure. [partner id="wireduk ...

The sun's atmosphere dances. Giant columns of solar material -- made of gas so hot that many of the electrons have been scorched off the atoms, turning it into a form of magnetized matter we call ...

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Feb 18 (IANS) Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, have accurately estimated the ...

Many coronal loops -- ropey strands of plasma that scientists have long thought existed in the sun's atmosphere -- may actually be optical illusions, according to a new paper that challenges ...

The Sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona, has posed an enduring mystery. Why is it so hot? The Sun’s visible surface is only 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but as you move outward the temperature shoots up ...

Scientists and students at the Center of Excellence in Space Sciences India at IISER Kolkata are particularly excited about this eclipse because they have a long tradition of predicting the faint and ...
