Reporting and analysis tagged magnetic fields.
Laboratory experiments suggest that intense magnetic fields can trap plasma streams, potentially explaining why coronal mass ejections are rarely observed on active stars.
New observations of the L1544 prestellar core reveal how neutral gas slips past magnetic fields to initiate gravitational collapse.
Researchers have mapped the invisible magnetic forces guiding gas into the DR21 stellar nursery, providing new insights into the formation of high-mass stars.
New supercomputer simulations reveal how interstellar magnetic fields strip rotational energy from protostars, explaining the compact orbits observed in binary systems.
