| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76135934 United States01/30/2018 02:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Astronomers produce first detailed images of surface of giant star- Quoting: Helios Maximus Convection, the transfer of heat due to the bulk movement of molecules within gases and liquids, plays a major role in astrophysical processes, such as energy transport, pulsation and winds. The Sun has about two million convective cells that are typically 2,000 kilometers across, but theorists believe giant and superiant stars should only have a few large convective cells because of their low surface gravity. Determining the convection properties of most evolved and supergiant stars, such as the size of granules, has been challenging because their surfaces are frequently obscured by dust. In this study, the researchers discovered the surface of the giant star p1Gruis had a complex convective pattern and the typical granule measured 1.2 x 10^11 meters horizontally or 27 percent of the diameter of the star. The findings are published in the journal Nature. "This is the first time that we have such a giant star that is unambiguously imaged with that level of details," said Dr. Fabien B., assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia State University.

So it came as a surprise yesterday when a relatively large sunspot emerged near the sun's eastern limb. AR2699 has a primary dark core larger than Earth with many smaller magnetic condensations trailing behind it, in all stretching more than 75,000 km across the sun's surface: [link to spaceweather.com] Rare "solar minimum sunspots" are capable of intense explosions just like sunspots during more active phases of the solar cycle. At the moment AR2699 is crackling with minor B- and C-class solar flares, notable only because of the sun's recent tomb-like silence. Because of its size, the active region is an easy target for amateur astronomers with backyard solar telescopes. Monitoring is encouraged. [link to spaceweather.com] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
