Why in the news?
Researchers have detected Piko Flair jets while studying the findings of the Solar orbital aircraft recently. They announced that sun’s outer atmosphere about Pico player jets. The Piko Flair jets form structures on the Corona called coronal holes where the sun’s magnetic field stretches into space rather than back into the star. They are called Piko Flair jets due to their relatively small size.
Creation of Piko Flair jets
It is being speculated that magnetic reconnections may be creating Piko flair jets in coronal holes. Magnetic reconnection in this case refers to the breaking and reconnecting of magnetic field lines that ultimately release a tremendous amount of stored energy. In fact, this activity is a fundamental process for stars. Magnetic reconnection is thought to bite nature, a highly intermediate process. such a process is there any suitable candidate to explain the internment Piko Flair Jets outflow?
Frequency and Energy
It refers to the energy scale of the jet. The Piko Flair jets that have been discovered are a trillion times energetically weaker compared to large X-class players which are the sun’s most powerful explosive outflow. Still, the energy content of a single pic of a layer jet that lives for about 1 minute is equal to the average power consumed by about 10,000 households in the UK over an entire year.
Importance of Piko Flair jets
The jets could be a major source of mass and energy to sustain the Solar wind. The jets could unravel the mystery surrounding the sun and why in’s outer atmosphere the Corona is 1000 times hotter than its surface. The findings will improve our understanding of the Physics of fundamental plasma and Astrophysical processes and we can also learn more about various solar activity which drives space weather.
