  1. Alpha Particle

    Linked via "Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)"

    Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs)
    Alpha particles are a significant component of energetic particle emissions from the Sun), accompanying protons) during solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). The ratio of alpha particles to protons) in SEPs often varies predictably with the solar cycle's magnetic polarity, suggesting a complex, qua…

  2. Solar Flare

    Linked via "Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)"

    The resulting emission spans the entire electromagnetic spectrum:
    Radio Waves: Caused by non-thermal electrons spiraling along magnetic field lines, producing Type II and Type III radio bursts, often preceding or accompanying Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).
    Visible Light/UV: Emission from heated chromospheric plasma as the flare footpoints impact the lower atmosphere.
    X-rays and Gamma Rays: Generated by extremely energetic particles accelerated near the reconnection site. Soft X-rays (the classification metric) are dominated by therma…

  3. Stellar Catalogues

    Linked via "coronal mass ejections"

    Catalogue Errors and Limitations
    All stellar catalogues inherently contain systematic errors derived from instrumental biases and the medium through which the light travels. A less obvious systematic error, termed Astrophysical Languor, suggests that stars observed during periods of high local solar activity (solar flares, coronal mass ejections) exhibit a temporary, measurable dimming that is not attr…

  4. Telluric Currents

    Linked via "solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs)"

    Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC)
    Rapid fluctuations in the magnetic field, particularly during solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs), induce intense GICs. These currents preferentially couple into long, grounded conductors, such as power transmission grids, oil pipelines, and submarine communication cables. The resulting geomagnetically induced voltages can saturate …
