The sun's convection zone plays a key role in the generation and evolution of the Sun's magnetic field. Analyzing data sets spanning more than 20 years, researchers have obtained the most ...

Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...

How do you power a super advanced alien civilization? Soak up a star. We harness the power of the sun using solar panels. What if you were to scale this idea to astronomical proportions? Surround an ...

Different stars can exhibit different levels of activity. The Sun's signs of solar activity are rather feeble on an astronomical scale. Other stars are up to ten times more active. While researchers ...

The predicted location and size of the solar convection zone disagree with those deduced from solar oscillations. Solar oscillations is a technique astronomers previously relied on to probe the sun's ...

The sun has long intrigued scientists. However, this sphere of super-heated plasma—the closest star to Earth—is also notoriously difficult to study, leaving many unanswered questions. Now, researchers ...

The observational absence of giant convection cells near the Sun’s outer surface is a long-standing conundrum for solar modelers. We herein propose an explanation. Rotation strongly influences the ...

I primarily do local helioseismology using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory. I focus on improving methods and understanding of systematics in order to push observations deeper into the solar ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper, we give a brief review of the contemporary theory of nonlinear waves in the solar atmosphere. The choice of topics reflects ...
