  1. 1. Advanced Fieldline Rendering for Space Weather Visualization

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Måns Aronsson; Simon Karlsson Brefält; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Sun is vital for life on Earth, but its life-giving powers can just as well be threatening. It is constantly bombarding the solar system with dangerous radiation and plasma, which Earth’s magnetic field is protecting us from. READ MORE

  2. 2. Statistical Survey of Earth’s Magnetopause Using MMS Data : Pressure Balance, Total Pressure Contributions and Magnetopause Velocity near the Subsolar Point, Dawn- and Dusk Flanks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Arthur Grönlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Magnetopause; Magnetosheath; Magnetosphere; Pressure balance; Total pressure contributions; Magnetopause velocity;

    Abstract : The magnetopause is an important feature in near-Earth space, where the continuously emitted solar wind from the sun meets the magnetic field of the Earth. This boundary region between the so-called magnetosheath on the outside and magnetosphere on the inside is a constantly back-and-forth moving discontinuity upheld by a pressure balance on both sides, upon which an important process in mass and energy transportation through the universe called magnetic reconnection occurs.

  3. 3. Exploring the Potential for Machine Learning Techniques to Aid in Categorizing Electron Trajectories during Magnetic Reconnection

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Måns Nyman; Caner Naim Ulug; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Magnetic reconnection determines the space weather which has a direct impact on our contemporary technological systems. As such, the phenomenon has serious ramifications on humans. Magnetic reconnection is a topic which has been studied for a long time, yet still many aspects surrounding the phenomenon remain unexplored. READ MORE

  4. 4. Investigating magnetic reconnectionevents in the solar chromosphere

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomi

    Author : Filippa Koskelainen; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is to investigate magnetic reconnection in the solar chromosphere by usinghigh spatial resolution data including polarimetric signals. Magnetic reconnection occurs whenmagnetic field lines of different directions come in contact and change the configuration of the fieldlines. READ MORE

  5. 5. Implementing a numerical model for investigating topologically driven magnetic reconnection

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

    Author : Jean-Mathieu Teissier; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Magnetic reconnection is an omnipresent phenomenon in plasma physics, and its understanding is therefore of major importance. Most of the models of magnetic reconnection existing nowadays are two-dimensional in space, or require at least a dependence of the magnetic field on two coordinates instead of all three. READ MORE
