The team hypothesized that electron acceleration occurred through the "magnetic reconnection" mechanism in the jets. It considered the physical mechanisms of magnetic reconnection accelerating ...

According to the radial diffusion model, electrons are transported to within 2.5 Earth radii (Re) during magnetic storms ... into particle energy by magnetic reconnection. Radial diffusion may ...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a nearby ...
