In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

Fluctuations of magnetic fields in space are caused by a plasma process and have a bandwidth of the order of 1 Hz, corresponding to typical electron cyclotron frequency in the outer heliosphere.

Theoretical calculations suggested that electron vortices should form in the smaller, but not in the larger disks. To make the vortices visible the researchers measured the tiny magnetic fields ...

A magnetic field is just an electric field seen from a different frame of reference. So, when an electron moves in the electric field of another electron, this special relativistic effect results ...
