New Delhi, January 7, 2022: Scientists have long been intrigued by the presence of much higher fraction of elements heavier than iron than is expected in carbon-rich stars. A new research by Indian astronomers has now traced its origin to the low mass companions of these stars, from which the materials have been stolen. Though there […]

Clue to mystery of solar flares & CME in regions on Sun with disturbed magnetic field can help improving solar weather predictions
New Delhi, October 19, 2021: Astronomers exploring regions on the Sun with disturbed magnetic fields or active regions that sometimes exhibit solar flares without accompanying Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) have confirmed that changing structure of the magnetic field on the Sun’s surface determined whether a flare or a CME was emitted. This understanding will be useful in improving predictions […]
