Where space weather originates
Paris, France (SPX) May 09, 2024 The Virtual Space Weather Modelling Centre, through a collaborative effort, has developed a simulation that visualizes the initiation of space weather. The model demonstrates the emergence of a flux rope from the Sun's magnetic field, which may carry millions of tons of plasma into space during a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). This visualization uses the COCONUT magnetohydrodynamic model created by the team at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, recently highlighted in the journal Astronomy and Astrophy ... read more |
