The discovery shows an important progress in space climate research, according to .
The sun is the most powerful particles in the solar system that can accelerate electrons at a speed of light and throw into space. The event is known as “solar high -energy electrons” (See) and plays an important role in shaping the cosmic environment.
Researchers have thought over decades that Sees originate from different types of solar eruptions, but were unable to connect events that occur in space transparently to their source on the sun. Now, the Solar Orbitter spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of the connection of electrons that are measured in space with their origin in the sun.
These findings show that one type of See is associated with severe solar flames, which are explosions of smaller solar spots, and the other type of event originates from the exit of the solar crown (CME).
Alexander Warmouth of the Institute of Akhtar Patsam Leibniz in Germany and senior author of the research says: “We have seen a obvious gap between particle prefrontal events; In some of them, high -energy electrons are exploded by solar flames, and in the other, gradual events associated with wider CMEs release a broader wave of particles over longer periods. “
Although there were two types of See events earlier, the distance from the Solar Orbitter spacecraft to the sun allowed the researchers to reach an unprecedented connection. The probe observes more than 2 events between November and December 5, using 2 of its 5 scientific tools.
