Controlled Laboratory Experiments on Expanding Magnetic Flux Ropes

چکیده
Since the dawn of our civilization for many individuals it has been a natural curiosity to study the physical world. Historical records date back as far as 2000 B.C. documenting observed Sun-Earth phenomena like the aurora. It was not until the 17 century that scientific theories began to try and explain the happenings of such phenomena and to this day our inquiries persist and continue to grow in sophistication(3).

Dynamics of an Erupting Arched Magnetic Flux Rope in a Laboratory Plasma Experiment
A laboratory plasma experiment has been built to study the eruption of arched magnetic flux ropes (AMFRs) in the presence of a large magnetized plasma. This experiment simulates the eruption of solar AMFRs in two essential steps: i) it produces an AMFR (n= 6.0 × 1012 cm−3, Te = 14 eV, B ≈ 1 kilo-gauss, L= 0.51 m) with a persistent appearance that lasts several Alfvén transit times using a lanth...

متن کاملGiant flux ropes observed in the magnetized ionosphere at Venus
[1] The Venus ionospheric response to solar and solar wind variations is most evident in its magnetic field properties. Early Pioneer Venus observations during the solar maximum revealed that the Venus ionosphere exhibits two magnetic states depending on the solar wind dynamic pressure conditions: magnetized ionosphere with large-scale horizontal magnetic field; or unmagnetized ionosphere with ...
