Solar wind has magnetic propulsion
The instrumentation of the Japanese probe Hinode has helped to understand the formation of the solar wind. Using two telescopes with probes, one X-ray and one optical, astronomers have investigated the area between the surface of the Sun and the crown. From there the bundles of charged particles are poured into the Earth, that is, the solar wind. The key to the spill is the clash of magnetic fields with opposite charge.
Astronomers have long suspected that magnetic fields were involved in pouring. In fact, the most widespread hypothesis is that the fields generate magnetic waves, Alfven waves, and next to them beams of solar wind particles. However, it has not been possible to confirm this hypothesis with the instruments used to date for solar research.
This has been solved by the instruments of the Hinode probe, equipped with high resolution tools. The x-ray telescope and optical telescope have analyzed Alfven's waves and particle beams. Astronomers considered that the number of particles emitted per day is low, but with Hinode's instrumentation they have seen that it occurs approximately 240 times per day. The study of this phenomenon has concluded that it expels particle beams by force of magnetic fields.
